Anyone know the power loss for the 5 speed and the auto? I was curious how much horsepower is taken by each transmission. My V-6, 5 speed has plenty of power for me but I hear comments from auto owners about the sluggish performance.

Probably need to factor this but, with a V8, the 4.6 and 5 speed, and the 5.4 auto produce the same 1/4 mile times...stock to stock, with equivalent mileage, same grade/type of fuel, oil brand/weight etc.
