Tru,
I had an automatic in my cobra and I loved it. I had it regeared to have a much taller second gear in it. It had a stall converter and a shift kit. I could shift it like a manual or and auto. If I was in the car hard I could shift when I wanted to and NOT before or if I was cruising I it would shift by itself.
When I was in the car hard I just pushed up the shifter and "click" it was in a higher gear. With a standard there is some "OFF full throttle time" during the shift. Even if you are very good at shifting most will not hold the foot feet to the floor during a shift with a standard. With an automatic no problem.
Yep I did like it. Of coarse it cost a ton to have it built to do that. But not really comapared to what everything else cost. I think I had about $3,500.00 in the trans. I couls run second gear up to 120mph and it would still pull hard going into third.
I will also add that I do not think I would do it again. Can't really say why, though.
