Atta boy, I replied to another re: on this subject earlier in the day which
would cover most of your questions and maybe add thought to a further
comment. I love the standars also atleast the old 4 speeds with the hurst
shifters and no 5th to screw up the pattern, but I ain't as young or accurate
as the old days and you take 2 of me ( never mind that comment) the two
idnetical cars with one auto and one 5 speed and I am sure the auto would
win.
<<On the track an automatic might start to catch up once I am
in 3rd, but light to light, I have not found one yet that could make up the
loss in that distance.>>
I'm not a big red light racer, not healthy for the license or insurance where
I live, all run ins I have had with them has been at the track.
Check other re: and let me know your thoughts
Bill
