I think I understand what notch1320 is talking about. There are some classes where a manual trans is more practical then an auto trans. Less parasitic loss taking up HP. The percentage of loss has a much greater effect on lower HP cars then higher HP cars so a manual makes more sense.
I'm glad to see someone is putting some thought into this.
My current build will be about the same ET/MPH level as your car John, just with a stick. I'm planning to run it N/A for a bit, then add boost. Should be a handful once the blower goes on....

That should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to see it run.

Good to hear. Those older new edge cobras are underrated among the mustang world. I actually prefer them over machs

Yeah. It's for men who DON'T want their girlfriend/sister or wife to ding, scratch, bump, ticketed or crash their baby.

How many manual cars in the top 10?
Hey! My car is up there and it is a 11 year old manual. I totally understand both sides. Having someone kick my ass many times in bracket racing and all I do is come around with my losing time slip and say "well he had a auto" Total bullshit excuse for me to say but I still do it. However, I will take those losses all day long compared to not banging gears. It is all personal preference with what you prefer. I want to shift, I want a sore leg in traffic, and I want to see how fast I can drive a manual with an IRS. It makes my car more unique IMO. Drive what you love to drive.
