When you say "speed," you mean 0-60? If so, the slightly taller gear ratio might get the AT to true 60 mph without shifting to 3rd, so any advantage that the MT has could be negated in a 0-60 test. We will have to wait on that one too.
I agree here on the power, it should show basically the same results (ie normal variance between cars).

The AT (mathmatically anyways) will hit 64 in second. Gearing is worse though and makes up for the potential shift (by the math, the MT hits 60 in 2nd also).
