Last night, at Spokane Raceway Park, I ran against a 2005 GT,
auto, with CAI, no tune and Flowmasters.
I have a 2006 GT, manual, with
muffler delete, LCAs and a short shifter. No CAI, no tune.
This was the most exciting race I have ever been in.
Both our reaction times were within a 100th of a second of 0.2 seconds.
He was a 0.1 second faster to 60ft.
1/8th I was 0.08 seconds behind.
I lost by 1/100th of a second, at the 1/4 mile.
His ET 13.8650........... My ET 13.8648
speed 100.70 ........... 104.17
My ET was 2/10,000ths faster.
Summary: His automatic got him out of the hole faster but I was climbing up on him from then on. My top speed was
way faster than his and he had a CAI.
The five speed is faster but the auto is quicker. I am car 773.

Automatics are slower but quicker if that makes any sense.
