You could go faster using the "Sport Shift" feature off the line only because you control the shift points. Top end nothing could change. The manual trans will still most likely go a bit faster, cost you less, and save you on fuel.

A Triptronic is an auto, using the sport shift mode makes no difference. The reason an auto is slower than a manual is due to power loss that occurs in the torque converter. A Triptronic will let you to control when the car down shifts and let you to hold the right gear in a corner. So it'll turn a better time at the track, but in a straight line it makes no difference.
