exactly. You dont have a drag car that has an auto used for drag racing. So the benifts go towards the stick on this topic.

i wouldn't care if my car was a 11 second civic 5 spd and couldn't get traction.. and the only way i could improve is swapping to auto, ---- AUTO's they are soooo damn boring. my friend thought he wanted an auto.. he had one for 6 months and got a stick cuz he needed to grab gears instead of just flooring it and making your car sound like ass.

auto's with exhaust = sounds like complete ass when shifting...
