If its racing you want to do, leave it to the drags.

Have you driven a 7AT Z...in manual mode?

I'm also not defending what I drive...I'm stating what seems to be contrary to what a lot of people think regarding the 7AT.

You realize that the average person's reaction time at a drag strip is around 500ms - right?

At least, those who don't try and anticipate the light.
