Thanks.
I think what a lot of people tend to forget in the whole auto vs. stick debate is that clutch/transmission technology has come a long way in the last 10 years.
I've had blown 351 based combinations in this car since 1996. At the time, it was basically impossible to have a street friendly clutch and transmission combination that could survive behind a motor that made good power. A lot of my decision to change over to an automatic was based on just being tired of replacing clutches and breaking transmissions. A tko with a custom clutch was almost the best you could get at the time. These days the options are just way better.
On another note, people don't realize how fun a high horsepower automatic can be to drive. I don't miss having a stick at all.
