Stick vs. Auto index

Evan, I do not disagree with anything you said technology wise but.....I still believe the stick shift car in the quarter mile is more efficient and faster et and MPH. If you put an automatic in your car do you think you would still run those numbers?

Yes there are alot of fast top stock and junior stock auto's in D-1 but the monsters are the stick shift car. You, Steve F jr and Steve F sr have out perfomed every auto this year. I hate to say Richie Atkins has not unloaded yet in top stock because that will side track this auto vs stick discussion. I know all the D-1 racers have worked their tails off testing and spend the frog skins, I applaud you all.

Before any one jumps in, I have no desire to build a stick car, a "soft combination". Keep this to stick vs auto. Great debate.
