don't know about that. Most serious drag race cars are auto's.

(to original poster) its mostly an esthetic question. Modern automatics are extremely efficient and reliable. If you thoroughly enjoy using a clutch and grabbing gears, then go with a stick. But if you don't have that odd desire, then the auto will be a better choice in most situations.
