Crazy, this thread is all stick people!

I agree that playing with a stick car is WAY more fun. I also agree that if you want to have FUN DRIVING a car at the track, then a stick is it!.

My dart was always fun at the track when it was an auto, but got a heck of a lot more fun when I converted it to a stick.

As for consistency, I agree, it depends on the driver, but in my case, not much changed. I have been pretty close to the consistency of my automatic setup, with this stick.

And my stick setup relies on tire spin to keep from bogging. So track prep goes a long way to consistency in my particular setup. If you have a dead hook stick car with a slipper clutch and a crash box, I'm sure you can really dial it in tight for bracket racing.
