No, The major difference is take off, why do you think police and most transport drivers use manual, because you can get to your highest gear within a shorter distance than auto.

If a police man is driving an automatic and is chasing a thief using manual and they have to make so many turns from street to street, the police might never catch the thief, but if they enter a free expressway over a long distance without any stops then the possibility becomes higher for the police, because they will both exhaust their maximum gears.

Now this is where engine power will begin to really talk but most thieves prefer manual same with police....
You must be one of them, either thief or police, but i suspect thief

Guy forget this one you are saying if you skip gear in manual it will stall a bit because of torque loss. Automatic can sustain torque from beginning to end while manual can never even dream of that especially while clutching. Anybody that says car speed depends on driver is a wretched fool that doesn't know a single thing about cars. Carry Corolla go race twin turbo Audi make we see as driver go determine speed of car.
the comparison is between same car model with different gear transmission, If a Ferrari has a manual.... Anyone with manual experience will compete & even Overtake....

Okay, did you know that there are also auto Ferraris, Elecrtic and driverless cars. That was kinda what i meant by manual cars are old.

Are manual transmission old because of automatic, electric and self drive vehicles? Race cars and Super cars are on of the most bleeding edge in terms of driving technology. I don't think a manual transmission on a super car can be considered old tech.

If u drive an automatic 2008 yaris and then drive a manual 2008 yaris with same engine and shape you would discover the manual is very zippy and has a faster acceleration. I know cuz ive done that.

It depends. But manuals don't drag except you are in the wrong gear. Driver expertise matters.
Among your concerns, manual is more durable.

Simply because manual doesn't have to wait for speed sensor to detect speed and communicate with brainbox before brainbox communicates with shift solenoids

F1 cars no longer use manual transmission like before its now automated.

No, the F1 cars are not automatic. The current generation of cars use sequential manual gearboxes which are controlled using paddle-shifters behind the steering

Manual is faster that automated, that's fact.
But automated is not stressful as manual.

There are some fintions that manual can perform very well but automated will struggle for it

same way how F1 cars are built manually, the speed is much for F1

The debate has been ongoing for a long time now and this is my two cents on the matter.

A car's speed is not solely determined by whether it has a manual or automatic transmission. Both manual and automatic transmissions can offer similar performance in terms of speed.

However, the actual speed and acceleration depend on various factors such as the engine's power, torque, aerodynamics, and weight.

True, manual transmissions can provide a more direct connection between the driver and the engine, allowing for precise control and potentially faster acceleration if the driver is skilled at shifting gears efficiently.

On the other hand, modern automatic transmissions, especially those with advanced dual-clutch or continuously variable designs, can shift gears quickly and efficiently, potentially rivaling or surpassing the performance of manual transmissions.

Experienced drivers, what do you think?
It depends on the Driver.

What we all agreed to is that automatic cars are easy to drive

Automatic transmission is s faster and better. I have driven both
U have driven both which means same car same engine inshot everything about the car is same just difference of transmission

If it's that you mean by u have driven both cars then u are right

Come on accept the truth. Why have most women refused to drive stick cars. There are men that cannot as well cope with shifting sequence as well. Infact many men that even drive manual still do not know how well to clutch and prevent frequent gear maintenance

Bro, I just quoted Quora for you word for word. You have to manually change gears simple! Whether you use a clutch or use paddle shifters or even buttons you have to do the gear-shift yourself and not leave it to be controlled by a TCM/PCM. I might slightly agree even if you say they were semi-automatic 'cos that term to me doesn't even make sense with the process.
