automatics are usually better off the line unless the guy with the manual lanches perfectly
Almost never true. Two reasons:
1. Torque converter
2. You can't rev the engine before you take off.

i dont know man i have a few friends with that generation accord....one friend ran 16.3 with intake and a muffler thats not fast but for just spending $100 it aint bad you do have the weight advantage but he has the tranny advantage i say race and see what happens
Wow, 16.3? That's actually not bad at all. I bet my BMW is slower than that, but as I would usually say "I would own him in the twisties " I guess I better start modding.

"You can't rev the engine before you take off. "

I disagree. You CAN. You can too pop the clutch on an auto. JUst put it in neutral, rev up and throw it in drive. Ive done it a couple of times before.

My sister went through 5 trannies "popping the clutch" on an automatic Dodge Daytona. It's fun, but not worth it

Yeah that tears that crap out of your tranny. I've got a manual and I could do it at every stoplight if I wanted.
