On a sporty Honda or something where the powercurve has significance I can understand it, I bet an Auto NSX is not quicker around the 'Ring than it's manual equivalent.
Regardless of what is faster I will always enjoy shifting myself. Automatics are like condoms..... they evict all feeling, hence enjoyment from the act.
