The fastest cars will always be automatics. Anytime you see anything that is crazy fast (like 9's or less in the 1/4) it's almost always an automatic. It's not as fun driving an automatic but it is fun to beat someone in a race while holding my starbucks in the other hand
When I had my GTO I raced a guy with all the same mods except he had a 6 speed and I had an Auto. Here is a video of that race...(i'm on the left with the tint)

BTW steve,
Just hit the track and I'm sure you will be happy. The dyno is good for things like finding A/F and thats about it....
