[QUOTE="mysticsvt, post: 15878225, member: 17917"] I got the joke....I guess you missed mine. The "I like to win" is hella true and for a strip car with the right set-up and tune it's hard to beat. But I agree with you that it isn't why you buy an auto but why you build an auto. I went on my little rant earlier because of the stereotype. Manuals are more fun no doubt...but that doesn't mean they are superior nor are they, for the strip. It really boils down to what you want out of your car. How often do I track my car these days...little. So then my autos are faster is pretty much out the window. Am I lazier in my old age...yeah. Did my 11 5.0 hurt me physically to drive it..yeah. We all have our reasons. Quick story...I trolled this Corvette owner at the track one day pretty hard till he raced me. He had a C5 spraying with full exhaust and some other stuff. I told him I just had an 02 auto with bolt-ons. He laughed at me and I ran a 7.5 in the 8th which is a turtle but his turtle ran a 8.1. He left the track immediately. Of course I never told him I was procharged with a race transmission, 2800 stall and 4.10 gears with slicks. Now I have 200 more HP than that in an auto...life is good. :) [/QUOTE]
