> [@9c1ny](#): > > words of wisdom for all you auto haters Anyone who has .125 of a clue knows that automatics are the way to go for drag racing. But I don’t drag race so I’m sticking with a M6 for now. If I found a CLEAN 70 Challanger, that was an auto, I wouldn’t turn it down. ---

BLAH BLAH i need an auto to go fast in my 12 sec car hahahaha get a clue. In something like turbos app yes an auto is about your only chance to really send it down the track. For the humpers that think their 12-13 second cars need autos to be quick, um maybe you should learn to drive. ---

A. I know of 5, 800hp terminators that go 9s without a problem on the stock 6m, there are probably more, and that is consistantly. B. There is a new GT500 fiberglass body pro5.0 car that ran 6.5 at 215 with a clutched 5 speed! (and has a 5.4 modular from a ford GT, 2000hp, solid aluminum block!) C. Good drivers have won many profesional bracket racing competitions with sticks. on the tire side as well, there is an interesting 10.5in slick class where 6.5s have been run at as high as 233 mph, so when people say they can’t hook up it means they can’t dial in a suspension or drive, because 10.5in slicks can hook 2000+hp. ---

totally different setups. although i dont think i’d have a problem going 9s with my m6 and some slicks and a little practice at 800hp. 8s are far more cool though ---

you should check out this new gt500 pro5.0, I think you’ll appreciate it, after all it does 6s. As well, spending the money on suspension may satisfy your urge for traction, allowing better times while maintaining the stick. ---

I think you should let me make a bunch of track passes while home this summer so i can further my research…yes thats it, research. ---

Fatty > [@deathproof001](#): > > I’ts possible to run just as fast as a dialed in auto with the same power to weight, just not as easy…all I am saying. AGREE 100% and there are plenty of stalled autos that don’t run the times i do with my properly setup 6-sp car. ---
