autos have a little bit more powertrain loss as opposed to standards. i'm not sure how much differecnce tho, off-hand. someone else will reply with exact numbers, i'm sure.

The 4L60E is not as power hungry as the old TH400s and stuff so 18-20% is a good number for them.
You get the same HP increase from mods you just wont see as much at the tires on the dyno, on the track though it takes a great driver to make a M6 out perform a well setup stalled auto.

a manual with put more hp to the wheels, but an auto will almost always take a manual (if it is stalled right) due to consistancy, and with a manual it does take more skill.
