Unless you want to drift or something and actually want all the control a manual transmission provides AT will actually be faster around the track.
Stock v Stock, sub-par driver, the Auto is .1 seconds faster on the strip, so change the driver, change the result.


It's not the power that kills the AT, its the Torque. Supposedly the 7AT can safely handle up to 400ft-lbs. After that its area.

The block can't take much more than 400-450 ft/lbs torque anyways without risking it blowing up anyways.

Exactly. A lot of work needs to be done to beef up certain areas for bigger power.

I just figured it would be more consistent throughout since there's less room for human error in any given circumstance. for example you're not likely to miss shift in the automatic.

Ofcourse driver skill is always a factor. In then end it's up to the owner to decide what the best direction for the car is. I was just making a broad generalization based on other threads on the forums (the infamous at vs. mt nonsense)

GL with your decision OP, definitely do some exhaustive research before making a leap like this.
