You can sit completely still in the auto and build more than 5psi boost before even moving. That means with sticky tires you can launch the car with more power than you can a 5 speed. Of course there's no way you can load the engine off the line like that with a manual, result: Either bog or too much wheel spin. You need a lot of seat time to get the launch right in a manual car.
