Anyway.. The stick could be faster, usually lighter, and you could rev 'em higher. Depends on the driver.

I agree with anesthes, it depends on the driver. I have the 350 with an auto, and I will never lose a race because I missed a gear or I dont know how to drive a stick. When I get a newer TA I will be getting a stick.
