05 6 speed vs. 06 6 speed AT

Ok so my wife has a 06 6 speed AT and I have a 05 6 speed MT. And my car has some power to it. Like I can really squall the tires with traction control on. That's without loading the rpms. But my wifes has like no power vs. mine. Its runs great no problems with it really. I know the MT is faster than the AT. But it really feels like the difference between a V8 and a V6. Her car has a full greddy exhaust and a short ram intake. Mine is all stock. Could the be something wrong? Just seems like hers should have more power than what it does. You have to try really hard to even bark her tires. That's with roads being wet.

Something is wrong, you need to fix it with a turbo kit.
