Also, as I am not that familiar with drag racing (road racer at heart) do the auto cars have any advantage other than being easier to drive consistantly? I guess I grew up thinking the 4 speed had the advantage...Thanks Kirk
Kirk, the auto weighs more in a Pontiac, just the opposite of the Dodge's. The auto's are generally faster and more consistant (unless Mark is driving the 4 speed car)........

I know the HO of Mark's idles like a kitten and my guess is that the SD is not bad either but I will let you know in about 2 weeks.
