I guess some people really like leaving some performance on the table
You don’t buy a manual car because it’s faster.
You buy it because it’s more fun.
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.
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.
