My biggest question concerning the difference between AT or MT has been from my hopes to make it (maybe not the most super modded out there because my wallet can't keep up with my HP goals lol) a decent performance vehicle. In which I would really like to put a turbo kit on it and do all of the normal things people would do... However, again those people (no names) who think MT is the be all end all of performance, would shun anyone rolling up in an TT'd AT. Am I wrong for thinking having an automatic car with a high HP output isn't a bad thing? And unless your across the strip from John Force, I can't imagine anyone being able to keep up with the shift times of an auto right? Cause isn't that the main drawback of a turbo is lag? So taking your foot off the gas, clutch, back on the gas... as short as that difference maybe, could effect the outcome of a race right?

Forgive me if these comments are noted in another section, just this was the one I was reading right now and didn't wanna derail my train of thought to search for that one lol.

I personally think that that comment is eclipsed by the fact that most dragsters are automatics. In fact, one of the fastest (because I'm not sure if the car still holds the record) drag cars in the world is Titan Motorsports' Toyota Supra and lo and behold it has a TH400 (if I'm not mistaken) automatic transmission right from the guts of a Buick GN.

Not hard to understand...it was a joke.

Moving on, come back in 20 or 30 years and then tell us how you feel about manuals in a daily driver (assuming we are still allowed individual vehicles that even have anything resembling performance at that point).
