I find manual more fun and engaging but if drag racing is your main thing, it is a lot easier to get lower 60ft's and ET's with auto.

Quicker is faster right? Not everyone can shift like a pro. I've driven manual cars since I was 14 and had 4 manual sports cars until the ZL1. I've also had 3 sport bikes, all 1000cc. I don't believe I can shift faster like most pro's but I can shift better than the average drive but not better than an auto.
Manuals are lighter than auto's, yes. But race a auto ZL1 vs a manual ZL1 and it'll be equal until the manual has to shift.
I enjoy manual vehicles too but auto's are more consistent and easier to drive. Roll racing is a toss up but the auto will win when everything is equal.
