    well i know i drag race. but yes anyone can build a high hp car but to run it is a different story. so you are saying anyone with 500-600whp car can get in and run 10's? i don't think so. that's like saying anyone can drift because they slid their car around the corner...or anyone can autox cause they went around a turn.


    as far as manual tranny for dd in traffic goes... i dont see any problems with it..it just gets old and tiring when you're stuck in atlanta traffic...especially with a twin or triple disk clutch.

    straight line, curves, drifts... its in preferences... i wouldnt say just because you like drag or dift one more than the other that the one you dislike sucks....

    it's just a matter of preference in auto or manual transmission. I enjoy both but
    i wouldnt just say all auto's suck...i use to think that way until i test drove one and it made buy one...although at times i do want a manual transmissiom car.
