Yes, but not in the sense that it's going to provide BETTER times. It will provide more consistent times, and obviously is less dependent on driver skill. But just because a car is more consistent, doesn't make it faster. The point I'm making is that a good driver in a manual can pull the same times in a manual car as they can in an automatic car, it's just requires more skill, and is impossible to do ALL the time. The times, however, will not be any faster or slower because of the consistency.
