Oh no doubt, but as you allude its apples and oranges.  Considering it's innate drawbacks, it's awfully hard to build an automatic that?s quicker than a manual, last 100k+ miles, and still remain affordable.  Now the clutchless manual Ferrari and some others have, that's the best of both worlds..

As I recall, all the top dragsters use some version of ATX.  A purpose-built
tranny can whip a MTX, hands down.  Not to say that GM builds such a tranny
for a street car, but it is possible.
