The fact that the automatic has 10 gears allows for much closer ratios which help keep the engine in the power band better after each shift compared to the 6-speed manuals in those cars. Modern automatics also shift quicker than even a pro can in a manual keeping the loss of fwd momentum to a minimum when shifting. I have a tuned '13 GT, manual, which is pretty quick. My son bought a '20 ecoboost automatic and I was thoroughly impressed with how quick it is off the line.

Actually given some time I may go back to post them. I had the same objections to the videos when I watched them. How did they counter? Tuning of the transmission in stock form is poorly done, they also cited the Camaro. Like the Ford Chevy debate I am certain we could easily venture into those waters!

1904 the Duyea Brothers drove the first internal combustion engine car according to a local TV station, with a spot called “This Day In History.” Their automobile manufacturing company has been history for quite a while now.
