Both cars are brake rated at 332hp/270tq. Manuals dyno higher in hp while automatics have faster straight line times. Track times are driver dependent.

brake hp and tq are at the flywheel, before the tranny and minus attachments to the engine itself. An automatic's torque converter can act as a torque multiplier but always has some efficiency loss. Article:

I guess that kind of goes in line with what I said about manuals DYNO higher but autos are faster off the line...
