Several guys are running 409's in real cars with 4 speeds, in the low 9's.

For sure, and my hat is off to them! That being said they'd be solidly in the 8's with an auto-magic trans. An example is a guy fairly well known in street racing circles with a convertible TA. Sketchy Vert. 6 speed car, mid to low tens, occasionally dipping in to the high 9's. All over the track, inconsistent, and slow for the hp the car makes. He very recently pulled the 6 speed in favor of an auto and now the car runs consistent high 8's...and goes straight down the middle of the track. Faster, but less fun to watch.
