Back when autos were 3/4+OD (like the 4R70W in my F150 and 4R100 in the Lightning) sticks were the go to transmission for the track it seems, just because the autos could tend to be lazy. Nowadays with the new 6R80 and all the others out there, autos are some badass pieces of equipment they put into their cars. If I didn't have it out to own a Mustang with a stick (being my first Mustang ever) then I would've gone auto simply for reliability and ease of mind driving in traffic and such. Plus the girlfriend could drive it. LOL

I will never say it takes a man to drive a stick at the track, but I will say it take a man to drive a stick as hard as an auto at the track.
