RE: Stick V.S Auto Ratio
im pretty sure the auto usually makes up for itself, there was an article, a guy had a new edge stang and he ran a 14.4 with the auto, then he manually shifted the auto and ran a 14.2, so I think it's pretty damn close believe it or not

oh o.k. It just seems that everyone always makes it seem like autos are so bad when it comes to racing.

o not when it comes to drag, they're better for drag believe it or not, less driver error, a torque convertor puts you ahead of a manual. In theory a manual could run a better 1/4 mile time but thats with an amazing driver, without making a mistake, 1/4 is measured in milliseconds.
