I think in most general cases the auto is about 1 - 1.5 seconds slower in the quarter mile in a lot of cars. It is the same way for the oldschool shitbox 90s Mustangs, my 2008 Hyundai Accent, and I'm sure many, many more. Not being able to launch is a big factor, along with automatics *usually* suffering from more drivetrain loss than a manual trans.
