The "Automatic"
If you get beat by a fast automatic do you give them the same respect as a 5spd driver?Everybody seen fast auto muscle cars but i seen a video of a 9sec auto supra and there are some fast auto g35's out and about.
Does it make a difference?A win is a win right?

Alls I have to say is an automatic with a good shift kit and a transbrake in a car with real power will outdrag a manual any day of the week.

edit: I do give some props to guys with sub 10 second manual cars though, I mean shifting must suck. In a flat 9 second car, with a 5spd you would have to shift ever 1.8 seconds

The smart street racer owns an auto
One that is properly set-up will give quicker shifts with less power loss-and clutches cant multiply torque like a 'verter can. Save you $ in the long run too.
(Even a stock auto is still better IMO)

if they built it, sure, I'd have plenty of respect. If they didn't build it, and they didn't shift it, no respect.
On the same token, i'll race any automatic in the turns and I'm willing to bet the outcome would be much different
