Default Re: Stick verses Automatic (Stock Eliminator)

my car started life as a 4 speed car,t-10 centerforce(lock up clutch)this thing was consistant with a bone stock 390,then we install the solid cam 10:5 -1 407 with a doug nash 5 speed ,that was a blast and still pretty consitant but ,due to lack of funding and parts breakage we went with the automatic,now you would think that driving an automatic would be easier but i was alot better with the stick cutting lights than the automatic,the left foot,leg of my body seams to have more a natural reaction than the right foot mashing the gas ,not till mid season of racing the automatic i was doing better with the tree,but a learning curve none the less ,if i had the cash to run a competitive drive line i would have a stick set in a minute,so i think most of here certainly would rather race a stick but i think racing reality sets in and tells your self run what you can afford gmonde
