I'll say! I was a DIE HARD 6 speed guy, then a friend found a shop that sold HEAVILY built TH400 with your choice of regular stall for the price of a twin disc... That's when I said F my M6

It only works out tho because you are so concentrated on hangin on for the ride and keepin her straight down the track your not even thinking about gears.
The only way Id give up my man peddle is if I could at least manually shift the auto with a manual valve body tranny. Or possible if I was trying to get every last E.T. out of the car and it was track only.
As long as Im driving it on the street, its gunna have the man peddle, end of story.
Crazy all the speed you can pick up from swappin trans tho. Even more so for those that granny shift it either to save the trans or cuz they suck at power shiftin!

Took the car to the track a couple weekends ago and it hit 9.82 at 138 MPH with factory suspension and ZERO weight reductions on just 13 PSI!!! http://youtu.be/yO2qUQ6aazo
