    I'd rather have a 11.70 auto car than a 12.50 stick car.

    Disagree! Stick car will always be more fun! And with skill would not be a 12.50 car!

    Cant shift faster than a machine. Proven point. Thats why all fast cars are autos.

    If I had a built auto with a manual valve body it would be fun to mess around in if it were a high power car. But for a stock daily I'd rather have a 5 speed because I can grab gears just for fun and not try to be the fastest thing around.

    Funny, cause I know of a couple stick cars that run 9's in the 1/4, and that to me is pretty damn fast.

    Not saying autos arent faster, you make it sound like there aren't any fast stick cars and there are.
