None of your fucking business
It's harder to launch and drive a stick in the 1/4 mile. Autos will be faster with equal hp to a manual. If you practice, have the right tires and suspension setup you can launch a manual no problem.

Upgradedsupra's best 60' is a 1.53 I think. Pretty damn good. The guy probably had trouble driving the stick and gave up...

Knowledge is power, search for the drag racing sticky by out of step. My biggest prob with the 5 speed was finding a happy medium between dumping it and bogging down, and slipping it and overheating the clutch, but I looooooves my auto.
