No times.

A manual will give up a tenth or two but trap a bit faster. While an auto will make up time and be faster due to speed of shifts, it is still an auto which causes more drivetrain loss than manual trans. This will be reflected in power to the wheels and in the end the trap speed. It will be a small difference, 1mph at the most.
