something im see'n alot of lately
Little pee pee syndrome.. People with auto feel they need to "boost" something because they don't have a 6mt...
For example, most of the heavily "exterior" modded cars (neons, lambo doors, crazy bumper kits) are usually autos. Most of the clean, simple modded cars are 6mt's..

The fastest Lamborghini in the world is a 1500hp automatic Gallardo...
(dont know why it wont embed)
The big winner of the Texas Mile event on March 26-28, 2010 was Richard Holt for piloting an Underground Racing Twin Turbo Gallardo Superleggera 250.1 MPH with an E-Gear transmission. The first few days at The Texas Mile proved to be grueling as the Team experimented on both Gallardos with different turbos and suspension settings achieving a top speed of 220mph by the half mile. When the Supra's and Ford GT's started getting faster each run on Saturday it was time to stop and prepare them for full attack mode and be ready for a Sunday kill.

For drag racing, yes an auto is better with a turbo set up. Mostly b/c A. on the line you and power brake at line and build boost for a launch. B. you don't loose boost between shifts b/c you keep your foot on the gas and the throttle body doens't shut and send all the boost out the BOV. C. you get more consistent launches and shifting and with a reprogrammed tranny ecu and new valves it'll shift faster and just as hard as a manual.
If you like to drive on road courses or mountain roads then a manual is just way more fun and desirable for holding gears.
PS the lambo's, gtr, veyron and new porsche PDK aren't automatics. They're all some form of DSG...basically a manual tranny where the computer controls the clutch. An auto tranny has a torque converter...

glad someone finally pointed this out. Dual clutches transmissions are nothing like what is found in the G.
