auto vs. 4spd, the age old question

My Duster had a 4-speed for the first four year's I've had it and it was a blast. So much so, I think my aggressive shifting habits finally scorched the syncros. My goal for this car has always been to get it to the track just for fun to see what it would do, and it came close this year. Now I'm putting an auto in it, for the track consistency angle.

I'm still not sure there's much more driving fun to be had than with a four speed behind a healthy V8 in one of these a-bods, tho. :burnout:
