They have less drive train power loss so a similarily set up manual driven by a very good driver will be faster every time. The catch is the very good driver; there aren't many out there, maybe 10% so the auto in practical terms will win more races. But the statement that the manual is faster is correct.

I can't do stick in my daily bumper-to-bumper commute, so I got an auto. Sure, I'd like a manual so I could control my shift points but it would be annoying as hell in my commute.
And an auto with a good tune is vastly faster at shifting than any human. So performance wise its the same.

I used to wish I had a manual, but since I went with the X, I am glad I have the auto. The 5R55S is a bit sturdier than the T5 they put in the manual sixers.

The best driving experience is with a manual IMO.
I didn't even consider a car on the lot if it had auto. I HAD to have manual and PP. My first color choice was GO but I couldn't find one in manual so Torch Red it was ....It's my DD and I've got about 14,300 glorious, fun-filledmiles and continually rackin'em up!!!!

I really wanted a manual. I had to look a long time to even find one. It seems to me that they are few and far between. I just think that they are more fun to drive. I reall wanted a manual in yellow but, I looked for about 10 weeks and couldn't find one. So I Came across a black one ans jumped on it. I think the guy freaked out a little when I just came up, bought it instantly, and didn't even bicker on the price. Shoulda seen his face, kind like WTF??? LOL. But, why is a manual faster? Because you can rev that sucker up to 5000 rpm's and side step that bad boy! Ummmm.. not...not that I ummm.. do that sort of thing.....often
