Sometimes it's because the big bellhousing makes it necessary to offset the
pedals to the left, leaving little room for the clutch pedal. Besides, the
new automatics they run in hot rods and drag cars are much better than the
old ones and can shift faster than a stick.

I can almost smell the exhaust leaks from here.
