On the same token, i'll race any automatic in the turns and I'm willing to bet the outcome would be much different

I highly doubt an automatic is looking to race you in turns...I mean unless its a Vette or something where auto is very popular. Wanna pick on a C6 Vette in turns?

Thats cuz you don't make enough torque to turn a 6 inch circle.
