With CAI and custom exhaust after the CAT, they take me from a dig but on a roll I hang if not pass on the top end, keep in mind this is only with the Type S AUTO, I get beat by the MT

It would be a close race with the 07-08 TL-S pulling up top. Both 2nd and 3rd gen TL-S auto seem to pull similar 60ft times and 0-60 times. Its when 3rd gear comes along the 3.5L shows its strength over the 3.2L with almost a 3MPH higher trap speed at the end of the 1/4 mile compared to the 2nd gen. Now slap a mod or two on the 2nd gen and the race gets tighter!

, which then is wasting power (a 02 base started to gain on me at the track when my car shifted into 3rd)

like we said, the base 3rd Gen 6mt can edge out the 3rd Gen Type S auto.
you barely kept up with the Auto... the 6mt will get the best of your 2G...

our autos (including the 07-08's) seem to have like an 20% loss in power while the manual is only like 10%, so you are talking a good 25-30 hp extra getting to those wheels, let alone tighter gearing, which allows the engine to stay closer to where it makes peak power (but a shitty driver can also totally screw up the shifts though, and make it actually slower, where an auto, you just kinda mash the gas)
then also the manuals are probably a good 150-200 lbs lighter then the autos, which also helps to make them faster
