If you swap the final drive (a new one is like 400something from weir performance) you can hit the same 0-60 as the MT and you can increase your lower range torque hugely without having to stay in high RPMs on the highway or anything. Everyone who's done it has been immeasurably happy. Not hard for DD either but you can be way faster. They're pretty track competitive other than keeping you from downshifting directly into red line.
The only reason 0-60 is different for auto is because the gear ratios are completely different. I own mechanical watches, and have some of my favorite jazz on vinyl. I also totally get why people don't want to wind their watch or listen to 5 songs at a time lol. But the arguments that it's some sort of incomparable shade of a car in automatic are just dumb.
Edit: at least in manual mode, and I am fairly sure normal driving, lockup clutch is in past first so it's a rigid transmission.
