How Bad's an Auto Going To Beat Me? Race or Not Cont.
I started the whole to race or not to race discussion. I can shift, but I just don't think I could beat the same car equipped with an automatic. Automatics are just more consistant and that's what racing is about. My friend has a whored out Z28. I mean everyone's beat this thing. It's totally stock an automatic, around 90,000 miles, no lid, factory exhaust, on street tires this weekend it ran 13.20's. That's with an in-experienced young punk in it. It's all about bragging rights isn't? Maybe I need to go out there and let him clean my clock, and then I won't be afraid to mod my car. But wouldn't an automatic be better. I know there's 6 speed cars out there with so much motor your mother could run an 11, but what would she run if it were an auto?

If learn how to drive your car and you hit your gears, then you should have no problem beating an auto.
BTW, 13.2's bone stock with street tires is pretty impressive.
