If you've ever been to a drag racing event you will notice that there are more automatics than manual transmissions, especially in the bracket racing categories. With a Trans brake, and proper torque converter you can’t beat the consistency and literally the off the line launches of an automatic transmission. But any way, there are many reasons to get an automatic transmission and none of them includes being a woman. That’s an ignorant comment that belongs with Mullets and Wife Beaters.
