stock for stock and stick supra will burn an auto supra...because when you think about it if you drive stick and you drive hard...can basically redline the car allowing you to use the whole powerband of the motor rather than having it electronically shift for you at a lower rpm, they might have the same amount of power at hte crank but then there are also powertrain losses...an auto loses a little more power because the tranny is heavier and because the power has to run through the torque converter, a manual gets to use all the power up to the redline rather than short shifting...thats basically the main part when the car shifts..a stock auto will always shift way before redline....its not more powerful its just how the car is programmed to use hte powerband of the motor...with stick you control when the car shifts
