Well sure...you'd be able to use the engine's powerband more.

Well....hmmm. Maybe you aren't aggressive enough on the manual ****fting?

I guarantee both of us using manual ****fting in 2 Accord automatics will 
result in one car faster than the other.

Since you are gonna understand that simple logic, then you can also follow

that some can make the car go faster than others, even with all else
equal.

Regardless....its a pain to ****ft manually in an auto from 1 to D, so the 
hell with it.
