I can only go off my personal experience. I had an auto on auto-x car I ran for years and I was constantly draining fluids, dealing with the transmission cooler (leaks, etc), and having to have the torque converter replaced. I finally decided the next car would be a manual. I have since had two manual cars with several hundred track hours and have never touched anything related to the tranny. Just my experience. Your experience may differ. And as far as speed, in the 1/4 mile an auto will almost always be quicker but on a road course, with proper gearing, I will take a manual. Again, just me.
