I never heard anyone talk about Hogan's Dark Matter and I believe you. Don is still running 12's with his auto and that's faster than most 5 speeds.

Don't meant to sound like a skeptic but I bet that most of the autos have stock size wheels and the 5 speeds have bigger wheels. No?? At least that's what I observed when there were sigs and pics. Maybe that "levelled" the palying field somewhat between 5 speed and autos.

Hogan has 17 inch wheels
MedicSonic has 17 inch wheels
Deezo has stock 15 Steel wheels.. which are heavier than all the aftermarket wheels that were at the pike...
plus at high speeds.. wheels don't matter much

I have a '95 SE w/57k miles....
Let me rephrase what I said earlier.
Automagic Maxima's are slow compared to manuals. (Stock for stock at least, you can't deny it)
We a-magics are, however, faster than TONS of cars on the road. Either way the maxima is a sleeper.
To anyone who has ridden in a fairly stock automagic back to back with a fairly stock manual can back me up.
But with automatics you can cruise around and not have to worry about shifting all the time.
Ahh, how a dual transmission would be nice...
