    A lot of sportsman racers do use the auto as it is easier to be more consistant, so I guess both points can be valid.
    yeah, but the pro classes are not shiftinh like a regular 6 speed or 5 speed car. its a lot more consistant and easier

    Actually, have you ever watched the in car video of a Pro Stock car during a run? They are rowing an H pattern 5 speed. Of course it is a clutchless unit, but it is fully up to the driver to be on the top of his game for consistency. Talking about easier, my Integra shifts like butter and it is pretty consistant even though I am the one pulling the lever. Most of the trans for Pro Stock are made by Liberty Gears. Like I said, not trying to start an argument, but just put a couple of facts out there. I wish I could see that S2K of yours. Too bad it wont ever happen. Good luck with the Vette and maybe one day we can meet at the track. Run even n/t if that would make you feel better.
