auto is faster and quicker for the reasons Paolo pointed out - you get more time on the throttle..

now if you compare an auto to a RACE stick shift - then that changes, but the autos are getting better and the old advantage that was once enjoyed by the Lencos, Liberty's and other race air or lever shifted race trans is much smaller on the big torque cars than it used to be... people have run 6's on autos in heavy cars now - something not possible only a few years back.

The Lenco would remain the quickest drag box most likely in classes that allow them - but they are not street boxes.

NO way are you going to match a race prepared auto with a T-56 synchro - the synchros are too slow dude.
