What is faster a manual 79 camaro or an automatic?
Vehicles with manual transmissions almost always have more net horsepower at the rear wheels. More power is siphoned off through the torque converter in an automatic transmission than through the clutch and pressure plate in a manual transmission, thereby giving you greater rear-wheel horsepower from a manual transmission. That being said, automatic transmissions shift from gear to gear faster than you are able to shift gears in a manual transmission, unless you are really, really good at speed shifting. :)
Are vehicles with automatic transmission less fuel efficient than manual ones?
A standard shift vehicle combined with good driving habits can get better fuel mileage than an automatic transmission vehicle.
