Jim,

as Mark posted above, the "automatic with converter" is allowed 5% weight removal even if that means running lighter than the class minimum. In the case of the Super 10 it means my truck would be about 150 less weight with an auto over manual trans.

Yet consider this, as of now only a few trucks are running in the GT classes. If you want to build a manual trans GT S-10 I say do it. The construction would be the same. Most parts would be the same except for those items specific to manual trans.

It would be great fun and you would still hold the option of swapping in an automatic.
