None that i can remember reading that were apples to apples. The autos always seemed to be saddled with extras the stick cars didnt have (a/c, p/s etc.)and the autos always had less rear gear. (And often a milder camshaft)
PERFECT example!Have a look at these figures from a Motor Trend test in 1969 of 3 Road Runners.
Note the auto has 3.23 gears against 4.10 for the 4 speed, and weighs 350 lbs more. Unfortunately the article doesn't list the specs for the cars so the weight of the 383 auto may be a misprint, or the 4 spd car was very basic and the auto had every option known to man including a/c.
