To add to this list (some of these don't apply to drag racing):
Pros:
-Boost between shifts
-Consistent
-Typically much stronger than M/T counterparts
-Around town driving
-Your mom or wife or grandma can move your car
-As easy to rebuild as M/T
Cons:
-Not as fun to drive at times (slamming through the gears can be rewarding)
-Heavy sumbeaches
-Launching takes more practice and patience
-Not good for Auto-x/Road Course without some sort of shift control
