My g/f runs prodrag soo im their with her every weekend. It is impossible to hit those perfect lights like she does though in a manual

I had pretty decent lights last T&T I went too but with no LSD it was tough to have good launches

it's not impossible. Just takes focus, for example. Last time we had a track day I think it was Spring 2008 at Mason Dixon I was hitting 0.03, 0.003, 0.01, 0.04, 0.03, 0.007. Consistently and I have a Manual.

No intent to make you feel like a horrible driver. It was just a proof of existance that it is possible to get good reaction times with a manual. Seat time is the way to go.
