You can now shut up. I ran 13.2@104 with my manual. All I have done is exhaust and a tune. I saw a certain SOMONE who seems to think the auto is just as fast. He's running 4.10 gears, intake/exhaust, tune, and some other mods and he's only running 13.6 with his auto. Check and mate, stick>auto. And don't even try to say I'm some pro driver. I'm a 17 year old kid who is a rookie at the track.

A rookie at the track and a rookie with performance it looks like too. This should turn out to be a fun thread to watch ........LOL
Unfortunately, there are many other factors when trying to compare ET's.....such as altitude, humidity, track conditions, traction, and ambient air temperature. Hate to say it KID, but the guys with autos are gonna blast you for posting this.

Shifty

There isn't enough of a difference in conditions to explain that much of a difference in times. I started this thread to see what the auto guys have to say about that. All I've heard is how "all you need is a tune with the auto and it's faster than the manual" and thats a lie. They had me convinced about the autos until yesterday. No more bs about the transmissions. It's called powershifting.

Who cares, I never go to the track anyway.... Try driving a stick in DC traffic, you will be wishing you had an auto for sure. HAHA

For my own prefrence I prefer the manual on the track ..but that is for NA applications ..For turbo or blower it seems some folks have better success out of the autos ..Stick is still a blast to drive ..heh

Shifty

Try driving in Houston traffic everyday. It's worth it.

I know one thing you'll never get accused of, being modest

Shifty

No what I'm saying is that I suck at driving and still got that time. Thanks though. Maybe you should learn how to use the quote button.

Shifty, you are a bad, pot stirring person. Bad Shifty! No automatic transmission for you!

Don, your reply was funny enough to get a belly laugh. Thanks.
