No i am not stupid. All the top dragsters do NOT use simple automatic transmissions. they use dogbox straight cut built transmissions or in muscle cars they use turbo trans which are basically the same idea as triptronic where you just shift up or down. so dont go around calling me stupid, when clearly drag cars do NOT use automatic.

automatic transmissions in our car are not, and will never be comparable to the automatics in the GTR or an R8. Even in the full drag cars the driver has the power to shift gears, with an automatic clutch (to be simple). The automatic tranny's on a 1.8L honda motor MAY be comparable in numbers when on a strip, but when cornering and RPM matching there is no way

Manual>auto even on the strip. how will you launch in auto? How about use of two-step? and even if you did make a regular honda trans to work like a dragster trans for launching, dont you want to be able to shift at certain rpm and not when trans feels like it?
