I manual trans will take less power to drive, and put more to the ground. It will also give you a extra gear to keep in in the power longer. If you are a exellent driver with a good clutch setup you will always be faster then a auto on the same car.
A auto will last longer with the hard abuse on the track, and is easier to stay consistent. I manual can be just a consistent but you have to be good. A auto can be bolted in and go which is nice. A manual needs to be tweaked a little before you can get the best out of it. If you are faster in a auto this is why... 1. You can't drive good 2. The weight break you get 3. inproper clutch setup This will apply to a hard core race car to. You can take your fully worked auto with all the bells and whistles, and I'll take a liberty 5 speed. We will see who wins.
