    True but real muscle cars don't use automatics.

    Come to SGMP for Lights Out, and tell all the racers that..... 95% of them are auto, and the lowest is running 11's in the 1/4, and the 2000+hp cars are all auto. tell them they don't have "muscle".... :-)

    this is true, i grew up in drag racing and 99% of muscle cars have an automatic trans and they beat the hell out of anyone there with a manual trans. plus a manual trans looks like shit when going down the track when an automatic just glides down it..

    Many use Auto due to how difficult it can be to launch a manual. Then pull down the straight away shifting and keeping it straight on the track is another feat.

    What's wrong with that? If he's competing in 1/8 or 1/4 mile bracket racing like most muscle cars, consistency is key.
