auto in drift = no clutch-kicks, no engine decell in trasitions etc
auto in rallying means less driveline control over the rear of the car in decell as well. For big open high speed courses like Bajas, well that's not such an issue.

If you're talking about an auto instead of rebuilding rare 56/60 series 5 speeds, forget it. You'd loose too much power from the little A series to be anywhere near competitive.

A mate who used to be seriously into drag racing his old L series powered 240Z tried an auto after getting stuck on 12.9 with the manual. Went slower and lower mph because the trans sapped too much power, even after experimenting with diff ratios and different stalls etc
