Now now Joe, the ATX would be beneficial in drag racing. If I were to bracket race, and my car still ran
, I'd have a dial in at 10.85 (1/8th mile-we're poor rednecks) and I'd run just slightly over that consistantly. I ran three runs over the course of 2 hours once, 10.863, 10.864, 10.863. If I were in a bracket race, with a dial in right around there, how well do you think I would have done? Sure the 5-speed is more fun, but to set it and forget it and run the same time all night ain't too shabby.
[Commence ranting process]
How long have there been two different trannies? How long has this debate gone on? There are advantages to both MTX, MT, ATX, and AT. Stop arguing about this. It's old, weak, and played out. It wastes a lot of time. I see this same argument almost every month in some magazine, SCC or NOPI or MMFF or whatever. It pops up on here every couple months. I've seen it on dozens of TV shows, too. It's pretty damn annoying.
