In the old days (and today with some lo-tech transmissions), an automatic would be .5-1.0 sec slower in the quarter mile. A lot of sports cars are coming out with transmissions now that close that gap.
I'll always take a manual over an automatic for a sports car, simply because you have complete control over the car.

The auto is under rated
I drove both. I've owned a lot of manuals, and sports cars, and thought I'd never get a wimpy automatic. But the 7AT is awesome, it convinced me to buy the car. Low gear launches you quicker than the manual, and the paddle shifters give you complete control, even rev matching on downshift. It made the car a delight, instead of rowing through 6 speeds. My opinion, of course.
