Everyone I know that has a fast car (10.99 or faster) has an auto and if it came with a manual, they did a swap to an auto and went faster. I have a buddy that has a rx7 with an ls1 engine in it that runs 9.60's @ 144 mph. He has an auto. He had a six speed and that pos wouldn't hold up and kept breaking. Couldn't get into the 9's with it either. Put a turbo 400 in it, went faster. Now he ways to drive it more so I'm currently building him a 4l60e for it with every upgrade you can buy. And I bet it'll go even faster with the 4l60.
No sir. Thats not the reason.
