A good comparison is the SS/AH cars of the Westcotts. At a recent test session Jr. went 8.50 @ 155 with the auto and Sr. went 8.51 @ 158 with the stick. Same track, same day, same air. I know that the 4-speed is 40 lbs lighter but it also doesn't use the radial.

Scott Gove is the quickest SS/AM on the planet, but Paul Ricci is the record holder at 8.19@164.55 with an automatic. He set it at the D-1 race at Atco this past weekend. Scott Gove has the potential to be the second SSer to run in the 7s but he was at Atco and didn't set the record. I don't know if he had problems but he didn't get the record. If he is at the Dutch Classic and the air is good; watch out!
