It's also possible that the ECU's are tuned differently. I don't know that much about Hyundai's, but from my understanding, sometimes MT ECU's are tuned differently (usually more aggressively) than the ECU/PCM for the same car with an auto to make it feel more sporty. There have even been cars where the ECU on the automatic version has been detuned to reduce the engine's power output.
