auto can shift faster than manual but you are pointing the car and hitting the gas, not really racing. someone with no driving experience would get the same 1/4 mile time. if everyone raced autos it would be car vs car, not driver vs driver

disagree.

auto vs auto would not be the same 1/4 time. comes down to many factors one being launch. the launch determines your ET. also the RPM the driver shifts at will also change the ET as well.

we can get into tires, possible diff upgrade, suspension changes, etc... as well.
