I will give you that manual transmission, are more fun due to the amount of shifting. Now as for one beating an automatic out of the whole, in all my years of drag racing (me actually driving a drag car about 8 years) I have yet to be beat out of the whole. You see while the manual can rev up the engine while holding the clutch in, but can't put it to the floor. With a transbrake, I can put it to the floor and when I release my magic button I am at full throttle and gone. And how far of a distance are we talking? My cars are set up for the quarter mile, so at the finish line the shift light is back on and well, that is the way it should be.

But this will be a debate forever, they both have their good and bad points. Personally I drive an automatic, because that is I what I like and know, but if I had to drive a manual I would.
