an auto will tell you what the car can do, a manual will tell you what the driver can do with that car.

Very true. My old dragster ran the same times run after run. Any of my friends could have gotten in and drove it to that time after some practice runs. It was set up to shift exactly where it needed to and I knew exactly what rpm to launch at. The only thing I had to worry about was going straight and the tree. Hell I only saw 2 of the 275 tire class running faster than what my old ride did. So I think I have a little experience in these matters.
