a way i like to explain to newbies.... this is MOSTLY true..it gets the point across to what i see is the biggest problem with a a/t


with a m/t vs a A/T. you cant get the same performance out of the car because you are pretty much short shifting in an auto. Not using the full patential (sp?) of the gears..

MT is way better, althought you guys said domestic drags are auto, well some autos you can get a computer chip and change the shift points to get the most speed or power out of the car. But... i wouldn't drag an auto civic, it shifts too low, although it has a better start, manual can redline. If i were you i would learn stick, auto is for panzies
