You can shift an automatic manually, but that also brings up another flaw.

5 speed manual vs 4 speed auto. The auto has to have wider spaced gear ratios, so the powerband isn't going to be there all the time when you shift.

On a drag strip, auto's are better for bracket racing as the key is to be consistant, not the fastest. Road racing, manual all the way, plus it's just so much more fun to squeak 2nd gear :lol:
