If you want a dedicated drag strip car> then you will need a fat stall and an auto. But> for freeway runs> street fun> and auto cross> the stick is usually better. If you want low 10's hight 9's> its gonna take a while to get the shifting down for that kind of time> I am trying for it> but doubt that it will happen> not many people have done it> definately harder with stick! -------------------- ---------------------------------- Faster than most, slower than less.

You see very few 10 second cars that are stick shift, and almost no 9 second cars that are stick shift. There is a reason behind this Harold is right though, it depends what you're after.

They dont load and unload the suspension in high hp applications like gear bangers do. -------------------- OUTTA THA DRAMA R.I.P.
