Don’t forget, you’re comparing fairly stock vehicles, to those with 500+ hp.
With that amount of power, any drivetrain loss is virtually unnoticable.
However, when you take a car like, mine for example.
You’re looking at stock numbers of 150hp/155tq.
And in a case like mine, sure, maybe the auto shifts faster, but the ability to bring the RPMs higher into the powerband, whereas a stock auto shifts at set points, unless overdrive is activated, where I believe it goes a bit higher into the powerband, but unlike a manual you can’t bring it right to the redline before shifting.
