You boys down there in Texas should get together and buy a auto drive train set-up & swap it around for the track.
I like the six speed (also have a stock 99 FRC) I rather drive that, then a auto on the street.
Or put a front mount Lenco in there with a gear vendor od, best of both worlds.

I'm real happy with my RPM 4L65 auto conversion, and would do it again. You can always keep your parts and switch it back. After 2+ years, I haven't had a single thought about going back...

It seems like 3/4 of those demands suit the 6spd better. I seriously doubt you'd ever get 8's out of the manual.

Well-this is how I see it.
Do you wanna post up big dyno sheets but FAIL at the strip-the 6speed is for you.
Do you want to keep spending money on the clutch of the week-the 6 speed is for you.
Do you want to keep spending money on axles-the 6 speed is for you.
If you want to just go fast and send them packing-the auto is for you.
With the right stall and rim and tire package-it's unbeatable on the strip or street.
Only thing is I'm not sure about the 200mph thingy-crossing the traps at 160 was hairy enough.
