I have the reverse manual with B&M Pro Rachet shifter. My boys thought 5 speed was the "bomb" until they drove my 86 with the auto. Now they say, have fun DD the 5 speed but bring the Auto to the track.

 

Driving fast is fun (when doen safely) no matter what.

 

Run what you brung-winner is a winner-whiner is a whiner

 

i say a stick is better just like the first guy said, but i apply it more to racing another car not on the track. Like if i was up against another cobra that has same mods as me and i beat him i know it was me that beat him not so much the car.
