I agree. A stick car shocks the tires MUCH harder and does it several times going down the track. With a big power stick car, the car is much more unsettled going down the track making it more of a challenge to ET well. A well running auto car is nothing more than just point and shoot. Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
And also that's bullshit cause you're number one on the power adder list.

I do believe the V has run some pretty good times on your PD blower. Don't change your tune (see what I did there? lol) now that you have gone twins on the V.

Notice the entire time I owned it with the PD blower I was very open about the car needing nitrous to be fun....
Same thing I said about the Eaton setups on Cobras. A PD blower + dope is fun, a PD blower alone fucking sucks dick

Not using the nitrous at the track till I get some slicks. But I have used it on the road a few times but anything under 60 it just melts the tires.

And before you say it, to say it's "these" cars is nonsense. Beefcake runs the 275 class, on E85 making over 1000rw and runs great numbers.
Beefcake is auto.

Doesn't mean it can't be done. It's certainly easier to go with an auto, but it doesn't mean it can't be done rowing gears either. It's just harder to do needing a serious driving mod and stout driveline parts. Most people going that fast tend to go auto because it's so much easier to do. Point and shoot, takes the driver practically out of the equation. Junkie rows gears with a 6 speed well into the 8's. If he put an auto in it it would go EASY 7's.
All you need is some serious seat time and practice.
