No, just a gear difference.
The auto came with 3.07's , but that is because of how the 700r trans is geared.

The Manual ZF got lower gears because there are 6 gears to go through, and they are not the same ratio as the auto.

I think in a race even cars the stick would win, but if the driver sucks the auto has it.

No 2.73's in verts, only 2 gears in a4 LT1's were 2.59 and 3.07.
2.73's were in L98's.
