Oh and One more thing now Dragsters are using and have for years an type of auto shift. I'll name one company B&M Hydro transmissions in the 60's a manual couldn't shift as fast or as positive. Take note ricky racers.
i read this after my last post, cybergregs whining got to me and i posted before reading everything, yes there is no doubt that an automatic can shift faster than a manual, but i bought this car for it to be fun, and do the occasional street race, but very rarely will i race it, a true sports car is ment to be shifted, not floored and bored, where is the skill in that? so you guys with the autos have fun pushing a pedal and the occasional button, i'll shift gears and LOVE it till the day i die.
