I know a friend friend that blew his tranny case because he went from D to 2 while racing. How stupid can one be... especially street racing. You can sort of shift on an automatic as many new cars have adaptive shifting. The more the throttle is open, the more RPM till it will shift. Example would be flooring until desired RPM than release it a little and it will shift.

Y get a 5spd when an auto tranny will always be more precise than a 5spd and therefore 2 cars with the same power to the wheels, one being an auto and one being a 5spd, the auto will most likely win.
