That has to do with the gearing of the 6 speed manual vs the 10 speed auto and how they match up with that track. It's the same in the standard SS Camaros with the 6 speed manual vs the 8 speed auto. On some sections of track the auto just falls on its face because its too busy shifting gears to be putting power down.
What's funny is in the Corvettes the auto is actually a little faster around the track than the manual, again because of the gearing of the 7spd manual vs the 8spd auto.
Just about every pro level racecar uses some sort of auto blip, clutchless or sequential setup on the "manual" transmission cars so it would still be a far cry from rowing through the gears in a street car. That's why GM, Porsche, BMW, etc offer auto rev match functions for their manual cars, since it's the number one thing people screw up at the track.

Lol, you are missing the point...I was simply poiting out that the highest level race car drivers can drive a manual transmission car, street or otherwise as good or better than a production model AT, dual clutch or otherwise. Most accomplished track or race car drivers would opt to turn off auto rev matching because the auto rev match system does not suit their fancy. In competitive racing your comment is more than obvious.
