Not going to be a problem with the current record... Looking at the timeslips, my car already had it if had a clean pass but I failed it as a driver that day.
But the problem for us 6MTs, Cy's auto car is going to do a bit better yet when its trans isnt slipping the entire way down the track. With 600-620rwhp, a ~3400# 7AT 370z with a 1.6-1.7 60' should run about a 10.2 - 10.4.
It has every advantage... it has more gearing off the line, closer ratios to make more use of the engine power, and shifts faster than a person can.
So until I put a built motor in my car, I might have to just settle for quickest 6MT rather than quickest overall. I dont know if even 700rwhp with a 6MT is going to beat what that auto car can do in the 1/4. Looking towards the future, its probably going to remain a constant that the 7ATs are generally outperforming the 6MTs in the 1/4, but that the outright fastest cars will be 6MTs because its likely we will be exceeding the power the 7AT can handle.
