My thinking was, in close to stock form, a stick would be an advantage in the "stall" area. A stock 318, especially in a pickup or such, has anywhere from a 1600 stall to maybe a 2000 stall in a 904 Duster. A stick car can come out of the hole had 4000 grand, and if you have DOT drag tires, the stick car will hole shot every time. Plus, if it's a 4 speed, it will have an advantage in gearing.
