drag cars are autos with a manual valve body... <BR>as for a beefed up ATX you can get a "bullet proof" GS tranny at level ten Transmissions

I think I recall hearing that a lot of pro dragsters use like custom 2-3 gear auto transmisions. These 2-3 gear auto trannys can shift faster than if you were to do it manually.<P>Of course if you had once of these tranny's you wouldn't be using it as a daily driver, they are like strickly racing tranny's.
