Generally, oem automatic transmissions do not shift faster than manual trannys. Auto-manuals such as Ferrari's F1, BMW's SMG, etc... sure. But, not automatics.
And just to ramble a little, at some point, there's gotta be a seperation between technology and driver. I'm sure a computer will eventually be able to lap a car faster than humanly possible... so what.
There will always be a need for automatic transmission cars... be it a 2nd car, commuter car... or perhaps you'd like one in manual and auto. But, having experienced quite a few auto-manuals, I must say, there's nothing more sporting than the satisfaction of banging your own gears.

You take out human reaction and error and the auto is always faster. I would try though with a Linko

The tiptronic is about .7 seconds slower 0 to 62 mph according to the Porsche brochure. 0 to 100 mph it is 1.4 seconds slower.
