PTGT Boy,

If you quarter mile the car or *ahem* stoplight drag, keep the AutoStick in Drive. It has been repeated many times that the car is faster in Drive than in AutoStick mode.

You are better off using AutoStick rather than Drive, IF you let the transmission shift itself (it will upshift at redline) rather than trying to shift it yourself. If you try to shift it yourself you will shoot yourself in the foot. If you let the computer do the upshifting in A/S mode, it WILL be faster than in "D".
