That would be my opinion too, but if he was using a manual gearbox with straight cut gears I would imagine that it howled along in any gear. That and if he tried to drive it around town in the manual setup I'd say it would be more of a pig than a pleasure to drive! That thing was built for track or thrash work, not daily driving or ducking down the corner store for a bottle of milk and the sunday paper.
He'll find the right buyer I'm sure.

You and me both mate - I'm sure everyone says the same thing, except the un-restricted licence thing...

I'd like to see some of you drive that thing for an hour or so and see how much you liked it afterwards .
Drag cars are pigs , I reckon the only reason Tony would have built it was because its reasonably light and AWD capable .
It would be noisy and brutal on the clutch and gearbox if its had a dog conversion . People don't build drag cars with nice drivelines because they don't live in that environment .
The autos make life easier because you omit the solid center competition clutch and the nead for expensive gearset conversions .
Torque converters don't hit the same way as a button clutch when launched and the gear changes are faster and more reliable .
The thing is that short gearing and higher "stall" converters are also not terribly suitable on the street , just less agro than drag manual transmissions .
