I'm sorry but this car is borderline underpowered as it is. Equipping the car with an automatic transmission is only going to sap away more power from the engine and making matters even worse the AT has taller gearing. The taller gearing alone should tell you that Toyota designed the AT for people with lesser sporting intentions.
The AT will make the same Hp as the manual because it has a locking torque converter.
