I suppose there must be a slight difference since a manual has 6 gears and the auto has 5.
Although when driving my auto-stick alongside my friend Carol in her 6 speed Roadster ....at 80mph our rpm's were both exactly at 3000
Sixth gear in the manual and fifth in the Auto are so close you would not see any difference.
Gear Ratios - 6-Speed Manual Transmission
First 4.459
Second 2.614

Gear Ratios - 5-Speed Automatic Transmission
First 3.95
