[QUOTE="JerryC, post: 12407104, member: 113820"] Auto vs Stick... Other than pride, it means nothing. For racing, who crosses the line first is what matters. Everything else is excuses. Stick guys like to forget the advantages they have over auto guys. Launch control over start rpm and the ability to feather the clutch, that a manual has less parasitic loss and puts more HP to the wheels, and has better gear ratios. The reason they mostly don't talk about that stuff is because those advantages are lost through the driver. You have to be a hot shoe to take reap the benefits of the manual. When you can really drive a stick, your car should be faster than the auto car, not slower. I learned long ago that I'm not in the percentile that wins in the stick over auto decision. When you race for money most people figure that out like I did. Again, Shaun is a driving mofo. [/QUOTE]
