A 4.11 auto in the same car will be faster in a 1/4 than a 4.11 manual. A 4.44 auto in the same car will be faster in a 1/4 than a 4.44 manual. A 3.53 auto in the same car will be faster than a 3.53 manual. A 3.9 auto in the same car will be faster than a 3.9 manual.

Kept simple sentences for ya. Hope it helps.
this generalization really only holds true on a built stalled auto. with a slushbox like the svx has i wouldnt be suprised if someone can shift an manual faster. Not to mention it is a simple fact that there is more drivetrain loss and the manual has the ability to launch at higher rpm than the stock auto. which = faster 60'= quicker ET
