Oh don't bash automatics, most musle cars from back in the day were auto and they could spank your shiny import butt.

They had about 3 times more power and 6 times more torque too and were faster with a manual if the driver was good

No human can shift faster than a properly computerized auto.

It was a generalized statement. If you took 2 cars with the exact same specs, one auto and one manual. Took the auto and readjusted the shift points then it would spank the manual time and time again because a human can't shift that quick.
