Talking What is the difference?????

my car went mid 10's last year with a 6 speed and turbos off a 5k rpm dump.
what am i in for with a mid 9 sec pass with a th 400 t-brake/2step and a nice shot of the Giggle gas? i also added a wolfee sway bar out back, and an extreem duty tq arm
Ive had people say it is going to be crazy, then i have people who say its like a vacation going from a 10 sec stick car to a 9 sec auto. Both guys have gone 10's, 9's and 8's. which one is it?
i know it will be a ride, but how good/bad?

A low 10 6-speed pass, to a low 9 auto pass is a walk in the park after the first one or two

Dipping into the 8's is a ride You'll be driving the car more than you think on the big end at those speeds.

agreed.

the same sixty foot in an auto car feels SO much less violent and alot more controlled from my experience and of course shifting your way down the track is alot more of a handful that letting the car do it for you, even with a manual valvebody.
