I was not at the drags last night, but got updates. The night had to be called short due to clutch issues, and only one pass was made... it was an 11, but not sure of full details. The car drove home fine, but the clutch was causing gear engagement issues when shifted quickly. There is definately more to come, but these manuals are more challenging for drag racing than Autos unfortuantely. For drag racing the auto is the best option. In fact the only reason to get a manual in these cars is if you enjoy the act of manually changing gears. The Autos are so good that you would only choose not to get it for the emotional link to the car through a manual shifter.
