Emphasis on "faster".....
The auto is faster? Can someone draw me a diagram here?

Autos are heavier and lose power going through the transmission, as they are not direct drive. And it's very common for manuals to have gear-multiplication advantages.

Not that I'm doubting your veracity, I'm just not understanding how that's possible, all other things equal. What am I missing?
