Message Auto ratios:

1st: 2.785
2nd: 1.545
3rd: 1
4th: .694

5spd ratios:

1st: 3.21
2nd: 1.93
3rd: 1.3
4th: 1
5th .75

As you can see, the 5spd has much shorter gearing which, given the same amount of HP should accelerate you more quickly. Not to mention the auto tranny sucks more power. The only good thing in it's favor is that it't theoretical top speed may be higher because of it's final gearing.
