I dont drift (on purpose), and I dont powershift. Overall I drive aggressive without tearing up the drivetrain. Ive learned over the years how to drive fast being smooth and not break shit (as long as it isn't weak).
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.
