hey don't you lose something like 10 kW at the wheels with an auto, i heard that a manual will pull 10rwkW more, a guy in Sydney told my dad, he owns a 355 VR Clubsport Wagon that just pulled 232rwkW

Your correct, generally an auto box will cause more drivetrain loss than a manual would, and in theory produce a smaller rwkw number.
You cant instantly assume by putting a manual in you will achieve an extra 10rwkw but.
