Racing w/slapshift faster than auto? Is it bad for the car?

i want to know if using slapshift in races would make it faster? cuz if ur doin a 40 roll, in auto, itll start in 4th but w slapshift i could drop it into 2nd at 40mph. so i guess my question is would auto drop it to 2nd when u floor it? n is auto or slapshift faster off dig(0-60)? n is slapshift bad 4 the car?

Uhh...it's Sport Shift for one...

But if you floor it the car downshifts on it's own otherwise it would be a dog in 4th going 40. I wouldn't say it's faster, the Sport Shift is meant for you to control when it shifts, letting it rev higher.

When you are in slap shift mode, don't forget to use the clutch. The emergency brake acts as the clutch when in SS mode.
