Who rules? are you asking manufacturer or driver? I would say I do on shifting , most people don't know at the track mine is a stick. Liberty pro shifted Doug Nash.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I run a low 10 sec auto now but originally raced the car with the factory 340 with 4 spd running 12's and i've got to admit, it was a lot of fun and i would like to go back to it one day.
From what i've observed, most of the man trans cars over here in England, are reasonably good speed wise but slow on et and i personally wouldn't want to go backwards. Judging by some of the man cars on here, the right combination is as quick as an auto. So i would do my research and buy the best set up i could possibly afford.

I bracket raced a 340 Dart 4-speed back in the late 70's and early 80's. I loved racing that stick car as it ran a best of 11.90's but I found out 2 things. One is the stick breaks alot more parts then an auto car and two is there really is not many good stick drivers out there. Yea they all think they are Ronnie Sox but I see many cars going faster when they put an auto in it. The stick cars can be very fast but you need to be a good driver to make it fast. I see many stick cars with the speed to go alot faster then they are. There are some really good stick drivers out there but many think they are better then they really are. When I built my street/strip car back in the mid 90's I went auto as I knew I could not afford to break parts and still be able to keep racing. And I found out that the auto's are usually faster then the stick cars unless the stick car has a good stick driver. Its amazing how modern technology has made the torque converter work so good and launch auto cars as hard as stick cars. Its a tuff call since the auto trans work so well now a days in shifting and launching. Ron

4 speed liberty with my own converter drive, similar to a bruno , there was a few other manufacturers as well
this one is based around a powerslide oil pump and co2 operated transbrake, pretty simple really and works well, only problems we have had is oil temp, a bigger oil pan may help or maybe a cooler with a fan

If your car is mainly a test and tune toy the fun factor with a stick rules.


Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

My 4-speed Dart is a hoot. It's slower than my Duster but more fun to drive.
