Then Explain to me why all the best Drag racers in the world run automatics...

DA stands for Density Altitude which basically means what altitude it seems like based on the conditions of that day (Temp etc.)

Drag racers are different from street legal cars. Both power and trannies.

Explain to me why all manuals are rated to be faster than automatics. Take any manufacturer and car and compare the performance figures between automatic and manual.

this is a good point... you can not compare F1 cars, Drag Cars, etc to a daily driven street car....its completly different.

Sure if you can give me a tranny and setup like they use in F1 cars ill take it all day long, or shit I will even take SMG.... but there is no comparasent to those cars and why they dont use manuals to our dialy drivem 335s.

give it time for a manual car to get faster ET's than an Auto.... i have raced several Autos at this point and i have not lost once... a good 60ft on a Manual 335 is going to get faster ET's than an Auto......
