Why would a stiff sidewall be better just manual trans cars? A stiff sidewall won't absorb shock as much, I wouldn't think. Stiff sidewalls are needed for autoX racing, right?

Rodney I would think that a softer side wall would be better for manuals that way they can give a little bit, so that dont wanna slip launching and changing gears. I may be wrong though.
