If you don't have an interest, I won't conduct the experiment.
I think that would be a great test! It would show the differences (if any) in the rate the engine revs at, probably mostly due to the weight of the flywheel and clutch compared to the (likely heavier) torque converter. If you want to, another interesting thing to test would be what the difference is with the clutch in or out on the manual trans. Just make sure both engines are fully warmed up before you test this obviously.
