The automatic CL-S has a very tall 4th gear which if shifts into near 110 MPH. This is the reason for the significant drop in acceleration at this point.

The 6-Speed has shorter gearing throughout along with less parasitic loss and less weight allows quicker acceleration.

On average I would suspect the manual to be about 3 - 5 tenths quicker and a couple of MPH faster in the quarter mile.
