Just a seat of the pants observation from having driven both: I think the 240 slushboxes might be faster off the line than the sticks. Plus, that first to second shift comes at a much higher speed in the slushboxes than the sticks so there isn't that lag time at a low speed where one needs to make that first to second shift as in a manual tranny.

Above 30 mph or so the manuals are certainly faster as the slushboxes are real dogs above about 40 mph.
