X2 on the stick for street, auto for strip. Would go with auto for street/strip, IF you really wanna do any competitive bracket racing.

My 65 GTO has an auto.
My 78 TA has a 4-speed. I can't vote both ways.

Auto for me. Besides, I can't physically drive a manual transmission (or ride a bike) because my legs (knees) are fixed straight.

I like the stick shift but when I got the car it has a TH350 soon to be a 700R4. My car may see the track once or twice while I own it but it will be a street car. I don't see the benefit to convert over to a stick.

I prefer a stick, but drive an auto due to health problems with my feet and legs.

Autogear M22W 4 speed.
If I lived near a track it would be an automatic.

At the strip, a manual trans + line lock is just too much going on to be humanly consistent in serious bracket racing. For street driving, and hanging some bends, I'll take a manual over an auto, just so much more driver feel and control. For casual timed runs at the strip, I don't have a preference.
When I can't drive my manual any more, my son can take me for rides.... in what will then be his car. ( he just got his junior driving permit) My 1976 Formula has a Borg Warner Super T10. |

Definitely stick on the street for the fun and challenge. The 4-speed was put up on the garage shelf all the time I was flogging it at the drags, and only went back in when the car was retired to pure street duty.

For me, a vintage performance car, demands a stick.
Even my wife, when we were looking for her toy car (the '72 Camaro), insisted on a stick. |

For me it has to be a stick, way more fun. My strip only car had a Jerico 4 speed, just as consistent as an automatic, as long as you hit your shift points. If they weren't, pro stock wouldn't use them.

Stick for the street AND the track is what I prefer. Even my wife prefers it that way, her daily is a stick car. We are a little more old school than most.

On the street, I would like to have my 3spd stick back in. Something about a stick in a big car is kinda cool. For bracket racing, you need to be a lot better driver than I am to compete with a stick, which is why I installed the TH400!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
