Auto at the track
Just got back from Fayetteville 1/4 mile and there were allot corvettes there... I was blown away at how well the Autos were performing ... probably lots of debates on this topic but darn easy to get into the 10s with those cars... where in my z i struggle to get into the 11s consistently.

While they can and should be more consistent, I would not say it is easy to get them in the 10's. I think a good hooking Z can get there with less mods and should always be faster with the same mods due to weight and power loss though the transmission

I saw your 60' time in your other post, 2.01 isn't that bad for a hand shift car, however you will never hook up as well as an auto. It just the way it is. At 119 mph you car has low 11. capabilities but that will be hard to attain with out good tires some chassis work., and a super driver.
