why would you expect to go faster with a stick? I ask because it has been my experience every time that people switch to automatics to go faster because it is just so hard to shift that fast. I have seen countless cases of guys with blown Mustangs running in the 11s at say 135 mph with sticks that immediately go into the mid 10s if not faster just going to an automatic, so I don't follow your rationale.
