Yeah don't put too much faith in 0-60 test numbers for any car.

As far as auto vs. 6MT... they are close and is largely dependent on gearing. With the Mustang GT you can get it with one of three different final drive ratios... 3.31, 3.55, or 3.73. Not sure if all of those options are available with the automatic or not, but I wouldn't worry about the auto being any slower than the manual. There are some very fast autos out there.
