The auto has significantly taller ratios, so it will be slower and a bit harder to keep in the peak of the powerband. Also, I think the auto is a bit heavier (not much though). Aside from that, there shouldn't be any further performance penalty. That's interesting that you feel that way about the clutch though - every time I've driven a brz, I found the clutch very easy to use (admittedly, I haven't driven an auto with any regularity in about 7 years though - every car I've owned or driven frequently in that period has been stick, so I'm pretty comfortable with a manual).
