[QUOTE="josh99ta, post: 384763, member: 545886"] Wonderbread hit the nail on the head. For MOST applications, its an auto. Now we're talking street cars or semi-street cars, not Pro Stock, Funny Car, and Top Fuel beasts or anything using a ProGlide or the like. There are a few people out there that will run 5 and 6 speeds, but for the most part, you're either running an auto or looking to swap out your manual for an auto. If you see alot of people running sticks at the local drag strip, it's probably because they prefer a stick in everyday driving and want that "connection" to the car, and are just drag racing for fun. The guys that get REAL serious 90% or more of the time have an auto. On the drag strip it's VERY hard to beat a car with decent HP, a built ******, a big stall, and a transbrake. They are going to leave so hard off the line that the manual guys will be playing catch up all the way down the track, and probably never will catch up given the cars are close. Things would change if you were going over 1/4 mile but in drag racing thats just the way things are. [/QUOTE]
