You race an Auto Against a Manual car and you lose, Especially that the CVT is very sluggish from start..
now race Auto versions of the cars that beaten you and you'll win..

my very good friend drives an 06 Mazda 6 2.3 Automatic (166 hp), We had 4 races, 3 races from 0 km/h to about 160 km/h, The Mazda is quicker off the line but then i get away by 2 meters. One race from 20 km/h and i was ahead by about 4 or 5 meters..

conclusion is, Auto vs Manual = Auto is a loser

sry to say but from what i've read CVT > Manual > Automatic (non-cvt)

Edit: Let me add that the difference is very minute between CVT and Manual, but CVT wins in the end :-\ sad to say

Look this comes from somebody who has 2 mazda 3's 2.0 (Auto) and a 08 Lancer ES 5 speed in his household. I have driven them both and the mazda feels very light but the automatic transmission holds it back. So if I would race the lancer manual with a mazda auto I'm confident that the lancer would win. If it happens that somebody races a Lancer MT with a mazda mt, The lancer would lose because of the extra weight, in your case You must have raced your lancer CVT against a mazda MT and that's even worse.
The CVT is a nice transmission but it's not for performance. let's face it CVT uses a torque converter like all autos.

SST>Manual>CVT>Traditional Automatic

CVT just for shift change smoothly and save gas only, not for race
