No matter how you "drive the b i t c h", you're still dealing with the inherent losses of the torque converter and automatic transmission design. Also, you're short at least one gear with an auto. There's no rev matching, no skip-a-gear shifts.

On the other hand, if you keep racing the thing and shifting the hell out of it, you're paving the way to a possible tranny swap.
