This is a different PG, th350, th400 vs m6 question This same question will be asked in the auto section.
I know that m6 requires actual slicks usually to get good 60ft times when automatics can get away with drag radials, so the m6 can lose some mph doing the drag run. But I figured you also don't lose the same amount of horsepower through an m6 compared to the auto's. So figured it was even.
Anyhow to my questions. Are auto's really faster or they just consistently fast, where as the m6 you can get it just as fast(if good at driving) just typically not consistently? or am I wrong?
The reason I ask is because I'm not bracket racing or anything like that. So if I can get my m6 just as fast, even if its not consistently, I'm not going to change to an auto right now.

With a clutch your M6 will never multiply torque like a good converter in an auto, and it will never maintain power to the tires during shifts. However, an M6 will never unexpectedly change gears in a curve, so decide what is more important for your application.
