The manual even if it had the exact same power rating as the auto was always going to the the slower car.. slower off the line and slower on the track.
Raw performance is not what a manual is about, a manual is about the experience and fun of rowing your own gears and manipulating the clutch.
The way I see it is, in order to make the best version of that experience available but with realistic ROI for a for profit company with shareholders and governance, they reused a good manual transmission design from the F8x which has a torque limit vs the box they installed on the f10 which can handle more torque but the shifting experience was worse.
