yeah thats why all really "built" drag racers are automatics... they shift faster and power is continually going to the rear wheels whereas with a manual, during the shifts the engines power is fully taken away...

Normally Id say "yes but your not gonna rock a BUILT auto so get the manual", but user is so thats a valid point. I just prefer to drive a manual and assume most people into cars do to.

That and I dont do any sort of racing so its all just preference to me
