RE: Could I win??
while a built auto transmission may keep the rpms within a certain range, a manual can be shifted the exact same way, and at the same time, it is burning less power than the automatic.
also, with much older cars, the manual transmissions were not as advanced as they are today. the older, more crude manuals did not go into gear so easily and such, so in the event of an older (say 1970 challenger) with built auto compared to an original manual trans, the auto will often be faster than the manual as the shifts are more precise and cleaner. but there are exceptions to that as well.

built auto ftw
get a full manual vb, brake, and you've got a standard minus the clutch.

Manual valve bodies work under extreme line pressure. It is very efficient. Perhaps too efficient. Shift wrong and you can do wreak havoc on your drivetrain -- tearing up everything.

The transmission guy tried to sell me a manual valve body. I told him he was nuts.
