i raced an 04 coupe also and put quite a few cars on him.

i honestly think auto cars are slower than mt. and i do have some mods, not alot

 

They are. Jairen (member on here) and I have done some 1/4 mile drags together. He has an 05 6MT and I have an 06 5AT, I have way more mods then he does and he still kicks my @ss on the track. The higher revving capability is definitely a factor.
