What should our cars be idling at? Is there a difference with manual Vs auto for idling?

Mine idles around 1100 rpm when I first start it, and after it's run for a couple of minutes drops down to what appears to be about 600-700rpm. Mine's a manual btw. Don't know about autos being different or not though.

I believe the stock tune for the auto is
675 neutral
625 drive

Mine is 775/725

Thanks guys for your input. I was just wondering if mine was idling a little low after it warms up, but I see it's right where you guys are.

mine was set at 750 from my bamma tune. i raised it to 1000rpm to hopefully help with the rattles. worked a little but not really. i guess the higher idle might help a tiny bit with launching from a stop on an auto.....idk for sure[>:].
