If You Take The Same Eng. And Car Set Up The 4 Speed Is Limited To What Ratios You Can Run, But The Auto Can Be Changed With Gearing And Converters . Sorry But The 4 Speed Loses Every Time. The Reation Time Is On The Ability Of Driver. Now You Guys That Are Setting Up For Standard Trans And Changing Supension , The Question Was The Same Set Up. We Are Talking Trans For Trans. Did You Read The Post?

i have to totally disagree there...dont understand what you mean by ratios (maybe rearend? dont understand how it would be limited)...what it comes down too is learn how to drive, for real...anybody can drive a fast automatic car (most guys have a quik right hand if you know what i mean LOL) but it takes real skill to drive a stick...and really how can you say that with the exact same setup in a stick car or auto car the auto will win- its setup for either or, so obviously the car setup for auto with a stick in it will not be as good as the car setup for auto with an auto...now im wondering if you read the post....(not trying to be a d-weed here, just giving my opinion)...get a stick, i think you will be glad you did unless its an all out 9second or faster race car
