a properly setup automatic (high stall, reinforced, geared correctly, lsd) at HIGH power levels will out do a manual in a drag launch because they can leave the line softer and put more traction down but they will trap lower in the 1/4, outside of that a manual will be an advantage

outside of that from rolling acceleration they will lack usually to the way they are geared

and the typical downer when you have a fast car and someone comes up and goes......nevermind its automatic and walks away
