From a roll...the M5 has the advantage period. Unless he M5 driver forgot to shift or just plain can't drive. Now if you tell me that auto had a stall I'll believe it.

I agree m5 had the advantage before the converter. Just goes to show how they will run with driver error and no tune.

So are you telling me that the auto Mach 1 in the vid you posted had a stall?

If so you somehow forgot to mention it. I recall you said exact mods only difference was tune vs. no tune. Leaving out mods to make a point...figures

Auto Machs can run. I ran one a few years ago that had similar mods to me with a ported intake in his favor. I don't recall him having anything done to his tranny. He put a couple on me through a few gears. We lined up for a second run, he manually downshifted his tranny and it blew. I never got a chance to run it again.

I'd love to put my car up against an auto Mach with same mods. I've always wanted to put my shifting skills up against the same car with an auto.

Car, I agree... Full real world situation, many times the auto is faster.

Most people can't drive a manual the way it should be drove.

The more mods, the more this holds true.. Stock cars it usually is the other way around.

Just my experience is all. You kids continue.

There is a little bit to driving a stalled auto. From what I have noticed from my f-bodies is launching a stalled auto can be tricky getting your rpm's where you want them to launch and also roll racing when you go from say a 20 roll and when you are shifting to second if you shift to soon the 4l60e likes to shift early about 5500 rpm and slows you down alot. So I hold mine in gear from rolls long enuf to wear I know it will shift when it is saposed to. I have noticed both my f-bodies short shift fist if you shift out to early. Idk why it does it, but it does.

So an automatic isn't completely idiot proof, just mostly?
