Drag Supras are quicker with automatic transmissions because the automatic allows you to keep your foot on the throttle during shifts.

A Supra set up for road racing or something like that would not have as monstrous of a turbo and thus would be quicker with a manual at its specified purpose.

Powershifting is not exactly the route to keeping your car in one piece. It's also not nearly as smooth as an auto. The key with any drag car (and a turbo one even more so) is to be smooth and the auto beats the manual in that department every time.
