4 speed VS Automatic

they make a few different transmissions. i was going to go with a DR4, its a 4 speed and you can get it with slilders so it can be downshifted on the street. For now i have a Libertys pro shifted hemi box im gonna run. i had a 727 in the car with all A&A parts that my dad put together. really good working trans, i just had a TCI super street fighter convertor in it though and it wasn't enough for the hemi, hell i couldn't even stall it at the line i was leaving off idle. but the whole thing with this car is i wanted a 10 sec, stick shift street car. i seen Ronnie Sox rip off some 9 sec passes in bob reeds cuda when i was a teenager, ever since then i've always had a thing for stick shift cars.
