Understandable. It's great not really having to worry about wasting the tires off the line. Basically, if the road is in good shape, it comes down to pointing the wheels in the right direction and mashing the go pedal.
Now before everyone goes and starts flaming me about not being a "true" driving enthusiest because I don't drive a manual, let me say that I learned to drive on a stick. Also let me say that I've put a LOT of blood, sweat, and tears into making this auto run like it does (ok...maybe not tears, but then again...there was that one time....
....
).
It comes down to who gets there first, and if you haven't lost to an automatic 5.0, then you haven't raced the right automatic.
