Message Autobox is only faster on a turbo car because you can build boost on the line and you dont lose it when the autobox shifts. put NA 5spd against NA autobox and 5spd will win ever time given equal drivers. Auto's are not quicker than 5spds on 99.9% of cars...only when comparing turbo or supercharged cars does the autobox possibly have an edge in straightline acceleration.
