A good driver with a 6-speed, gears, and "stickies" can keep up with a stalled auto no problem. Not only that, but my M6 gets better fuel economy and is much more fun to drive as well. Sorry if you don't agree.

What was your stalled auto trapping at?? 12.5 is a great ET, but I doubt your trap speed was fast enough to be in sync with that time.
