I think we'd better watch it, or this thread is definitely going to get locked 
How about this --
An automatic with shifting characteristics and gearing equal to a manual trans will produce faster 1/4 mile times (eliminates human error with clutch and shifts).
An automatic with sloppy shifting characteristic - compared to a manual - and gearing identical to a manual will probably be slightly slower in the 1/4 mile (but more consistent).
An automatic with sloppy shifting and higher (lower numerically) gearing than a manual will almost always be slower than a manual with lower (higher numerically) gearing
