I would have to disagree. For some cars, automatics are faster than their manual counterparts. I love the automatic tranny in the '07 350z. Since the engine makes all of it's power up higher in the RPM range, the gearing allows me to stay in those higher RPMs longer. I've beaten an '07 six speed with it before.

I believe the automatic Porsche Cayman is the same, though I'm not 100% sure.

Now, of course you can't beat the driving experience you get with a manual transmission though. I would rather drive the MR2 over the 350z any day, just because of fun factor (plus it's getting to be faster now ). But if I'm in the mood to just chill-ax and need a comfortable ride I take the Z out.
