What's with all this traction talk? If we were discussing actual racing
or performance, people would be whining about no traction, not bragging
about it. Any Dak can lay a patch, but that doesn't do you jack when
there's a mustang hooking up in the lane next to you. If your Dak can't
lay a patch, it has nothing to do with your tranny, its just missing a
few cylinders, Mike. :-)
Autos are more convienient, and only worse when racing from about 30
MPH....Auto's rule, that's why they're taking over. :-)
