You guys are doing the apples vs. oranges thing....... Two IDENTICAL trucks with the same engine and HP in a drag race on the ROAD! The Allison truck will walk away from the stick trans truck.
True for sure.
I still prefer a 4 or 5 speed in a fast, or even reasonably fast car. It's just more fun...and lets face it, a good E.T. at the track rowing gears gets mad respect.My camaro is definatly quicker with a transbraked th400 vs the super t10 4 speed. With the 4 speed I kept breaking 12 bolt ring gears.
