That's usually the main reason for the swap.
I understand the reasoning completely, But...easier....why would you want to make it easier? It's like taking the skill out of the equation......yes I understand that in VERY high horsepower cars it is the way to go, but the question stands....Why in the HELL would you change your 5 speed to an automatic rather than just buy an auto to begin with, as well as why did you buy a cobra if you don't want a stick? It may just be me and a few others....but this is the dumbest thing I've heard of in a long time.
