how much

so, mr. young, how much power does an automatic lose over a manual? i know an auto can lose up to 25 percent through drive train losses, but can you give us an idea of the real base power differences between autos and manuals? and are there ways to make up for those differences? any idea how many auto owners are out there, too? i'd figure a fair amount, so the auto 1.6 would be killer.
