The mechanics of an AT mean that more power is lost to parastic drag in the drivetrain (mostly due to the torque converter) than in a MT, thus more power gets to the ground. The consistent torque response of the MT means more predictable handling accelerating off the apex in corners. All things being equal a MT car will be faster every time, straight line or in the twisties.
