The result is the manual will always put more power to the pavement.

An auto transmission never misses a shift or shifts prematurely.

All that race shown was the incompetence of the 6mt driver, nothing more.
In this case your statements are totally bogus! The race was me! There were three races total against two different cars and drivers - both MTs one was a sedan (twice) - the results were the same... and I'm no better driver than they are (in fact they both have quite a bit more track time than me)... right Vlad?...

It is the car, not the driver (at least in the case of the vid you are referencing)…
