what's up with the auto drag cars? I was under the impression that you were better off shifting yourself

ATX transmissions wshift faster, always right where you want them to shift. They just are heavier with more drivetrain loss. With many entgines this is a fine tradeoff.
When my car goes down the dragstrip, when I shift, you do not hear any loss of boost.... it holds because the shift is so fast. That is a big advantage. You barely see the boost gauge drop a half pound.
Most of the fastest cars in the world, drag cars, etc, are a form of ATX, as machines and computers do it better than humans.
