Depends on the auto. Stock for stock, there's no comparision. Drop in a stage 3 at 15PSI and a 3500 stall, the auto can build boost at the line and make up for that bit of drivetrain loss and gearing. There's a good bit of skill involved as well. A good driver in an auto can out launch a bad driver in a manual.
