when i go to the track, which used to be weekly before i started the 3L swap, the majority of the race cars, the ones with roll cages, gutted interiors, tons of sponsors, and stickers, and massive drag slicks. the old muscle cars, the ones that run < 10 sec.

the majority of those cars have an AT (not atx). sure its a super built up one, but thats what they use!

now would i rather have an ATX over a MTX? not a chance. id trade my atx in a second for a mtx, they are so much more fun! just thought id point out the big time drag racers alot of times will chose an AT over a MT





ODD I wonder why that John Force pro funny car driver uses a MTX... ooh wait a minute ALL of them are MTX cars along with the top fuel cars, same with pro stock they are a MTXthen lets look at WRC they use a MTX also Lemans they also use a MTX

only people I see at the track with ATX trannys are people who either can't drive a MTX or couldn't find a MTX.... hell some of them can't drive an ATX ver well... I've seen guys in WS6 T/As running 15's and 16's before which is just wrong.... it's a mid 13 second car, even with the ATX.



Actually, automatics are very popular in drag racing because they are very consistant. Yes in some types of racing a manual is better, but the same can be said for an auto.
