but....... i guess because tonight was a street car night i guess the prep sucked because i couldnt get lower than a 1.74 60 ft to save my life... my trap is the strongest weve seen to date from a stock 2012..but my ET was about 2 tenths off where it should be....

but i had fun.. and will be back to try again..i know my car can run a 10.9 and that trap proves it

Is it common for auto to be faster than "manual" mode?

no its just more consistent.. the line to run was like 30 mins long almost and toward the end of the night i wanted to make sure every run was as perfect as possible so i left it in auto for the last 2 runs... the higher traps had more to do with the car being cooled off than anything else

Gotcha! I don't know how things are with Nissan's, but I know a fast chevy will out-rev the tach in 1st and maybe 2nd gear and if you think you are shifting at 6300rpm you might nip the rev limiter at 6500rpm, for example. My 01 F-body was like that. Had to shift at "yellow" line in first if you wanted a clean redline-ish shift.
