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.
To me quicker and faster are different things.
My Tesla 3 performance is quick and will beat my GT500 from stop light to stoplight with ease. Race them from a 60 roll on the highway and the Shelby will leave it for dead...
My tesla Plaid is quick and fast

Other cars quick but not really fast imo are cars like the C8 and trackhawk. Cars that aren't that powerful but can put the power down and get out of the hole quick; but, not that fast accelerating from a roll.
