Default WTF???

what shocks me is that all you guys are running 5 speeds. Have you been to the track? Arent you getting tired of watching Chevys pass you while you fumble around hoping for a good launch? Do you really like passing up 10ths going through gears while those Chevy dudes slam into second and third without missing a beat.

Am I the only one that thinks an Auto is the way to go?

We all know 5 speeds are only good for impressing high school kids, Auto's win races.
