You mentioned a stall converter.... Am I to understand that they make something to stop you from stalling?

Ok first I have always been a stick person and I would just like to add the following input. IMO
I like a stick because you have more control over an auto, I can launch my car at 2k 2.5k 3.K 3.5K with this car depending (this is a plus over an auto) how it is hooking up at the track, track conditions, weather conditions, tires I am using that day etc. For a little street action I also have choices for launching at a given RPM depending on the pavement type, traction and conditions. I also have instant real time manual control of my shift points at any given time during a race or a quick 2nd run. A good shifter rarely ever misses a gear it is rare thing for me to miss a gear.
I like to add in case anyone brings it up about purchasing stall converter you are still locked in to the RPM limit.
I am only talking about 11’s and up per my experience along with power shifting per my above input.
I'd like to also mention scrming made a good point about the 390RWTQ and Track-Lock and don't let him kid you about the 13.4 I believe his car is really a high 12 second car as soon as he gets it to hook up better.

I'm certainly not saying don't get a manual... or that an automatic is better... both have pros and cons... But when someone tells me my car is not a sports car or a mustang simply on based on engine and/or tranny choice... that's when we start to have an issue... LOL!

I know your not you and never seen you say that at any of the other forums, I was responding in general not at you personally I was just making the counter argument IMO for the manual trans.
