^ Yes, true. But you are talking about 1200hp+ drag cars. That's why they have automatics, purely for drag! As for what our cars can accomplish on the street or on track, it is better to have a manual transmission. I remember a member on here said the exact same words.

However, the only advantage that the AT have is that you are at constant boost at WOT. your boost will never drop. However, you can get something call an anti-lag to keep the turbo spooling at all times. People with Subies run that and same as people in the rally world.

And like many people/members have said. The AT tranny is just overall weaker. Either you don't boost as much, or you have to rebuild the tranny (bulletproof)
