Manuals can still be faster if you know you're about to put your foot down, and you're in the cheaper end of the market.
Edit: I should have specified while already driving e.g. overtaking or accelerating out of a roundabout.
Corvette proved that wrong with the C8. They refuse to offer the manual option because so many Boomers blew up their clutches on previous models.
As someone that dailys a manual and has previously daily'ed a Dual Clutch "EcoShift" Veloster, manual is not faster even if you prep your downshift ahead of time.
Porches are not typically on that end honestly.
