edit: at Dragtimes, the fastest stocker is now a 6MT with the next 4 being 7AT's. Of course different tracks, track conditions, yada, yada, yada.......

Yes, you are correct.
The 7AT's are faster on average because of the quick consistent shifts and the great gear ratios. Their downfall is the low stall speed of the torque converter.
The 6MT's have the advantage at the launch (at the track). At the track, I'm usually launching at 4000 to 4500 RPM, results = 1.8x and 1.9x 60ft times with stock tires.
