It's a different story when you start pushing a lot of power. On a normal street car, even most street strip cars, you legnthen out the gears you slow down. On high hp applications you want a taller final gear, because you have the power to use it. longer times between shifts is a good thing, if your power level supports it.
You can't pull the trans from a 500hp drag car and drop it into a 150 hp street car and expect it to pull good times. Yes the auto is good for consistancy, but you will always have more drivetrain power loss to an auto than a manual.
If I were auto, I wouldn't swap because I take road trips, I want an overdrive cruise gear.
