I was under the impression that the torque converter in an Auto required about 10% of the engine power, where as a manual doesn't.
So, if you have a manual and can drive it properly then you should win everytime. I converted my auto to manual and I have definately improved my times....but then again I can actually drive.
PS. I'm using my girlfriends login again

Yeah the 10% difference might be right but I agree with Toy03T...9 times out of 10 the auto will be quicker but that 10th time the manual driver actually pinns it and gets a perfect launch, and all gear changes perfect he will blitz the auto. A manual is great to have lots of goes on a drag strip and be in a competition for the lowest time but an auto kicks ass on the street where it is most fun. Not that I ever speed but it's fun to get up to 100 quickly (Just covering my ass there)
And I posed this question not taking into account those people out there that are ex race drivers or people that are usually found around these kinds of website but rather average Joe Blows that still believe manuals are faster when they can't drive for sh*t
