Automatics are so good now that a lot of them on sports cars are faster than a manual. Porsche's electronic double-clutch system is much, much quicker than their manual.

And for a long time, most turbocharged cars with an automatic have been faster than the same car with a manual.

And those results are with professionals driving the manuals. With "real people," I suspect 90% of drivers would be quicker with a good automatic (because they're just not that good with a manual).
