I thought Auto trannies were faster! Not so.

I was cruising in my 2000 Aero SW, 5spd manual at a pretty good clip and I look behind me and I see a fellow saaber in a new 9-5 Aero sedan(cool front end) flying through cars and catching up to me. We pull up to a light and he is right next to me and I give a friendly saab wave and he returns the favor and nods. We smile and the light goes green so we both hammer on it and I got at least a car length in 1st and kept it through second and grabbed another car length or so in 3rd then I back out and he catches up and rolls down the window and asked if I've done anything to the car. I said only a K&N and he said he had it pegged the whole time. His car is supposed to have 250hp to my 230hp, so what is up with that? I know I have more torque 272 vs 258? Any ideas?
