None of us ever claimed the manual is faster. That might have been true a couple decades ago but technology is much better today. The fact of the matter is a manual is more fun to drive than an auto.

It was cool to have a VCR in the early 80s but, that time is long past also!

Auto vs mt doesn't make a difference to me. Have both.
But you spend enough money on any car and it will do 8 sec in the 1/4.
Drag racing has always been for automatic because its easier not shifting yourself.
