The G37 7AT runs better times that the manual. Now what?

You can "tune" a transmission? Having an extra gear doesn't really mean it's better if the ratios combined with the diff ratio evens out its performance compared to the manual.
People saying "The manual is better" is just their opinion. Don't get so defensive. And driving a manual doesn't mean that it's going to be any less smooth of a ride than the auto. That's all about driving habits. I've been on car rides in autos where I got nauseous because the driver couldn't do anything smooth.
