Went to the track the other night. Ran into 3 other 05 auto's and one of them was running 11.8-11.6's with a shot of nitro. I gotmy autofor drag racing because it is more accesible than road racing. Hard to find a public road racing course. Gotta have an auto for drag.

I didnt know you considered yourself a pro...Do you only ever drive your car for 12 seconds down a 1/4 mile track? No! What about off the track...your car is still gorgeous andvery fastbud, dont get me wrong, but a manual is just more classic muscle and so much more fun to drive!

I challenge you to drive a car with an auto trans like mine and feel the same way. NOTHNG beats a manual automatic...period.
