Look, an EX is the Honda equivilent of a Japanese Buick. You probably have a sun roof, power windows, air conditioner, power steering, 100 lbs of audio equipment and a vibrating *****. All this stuff kills you in a drag race.
The DX killed you because it weighs less. It wasn't because of your slushbox tranny, unless you want to add its weight to the mix...

Guess you don't get it, huh? Let me explain it in terms you can understand.
His car weighs 2253 pounds.
Your car weighs 2445 pounds.
Your car weighs 192 pound more than his car.
Here is a pic of an Amana refrigerator that I keep around for ppl like you:
This is effectively what you are towing around when you drive an EX.
Get it now???

Her car weighed 2562.
Your car weighed 220 pounds less than hers.
See my post above. It had NOTHING to do with the slushbox...
Anyone else???

I've driven stock 5-speed ex's to high 10.9's in the 1/8th. My wifes auto ex (same year) runs 12.1's all day. So does the auto have nothing to do with it? Get it now?

Well, I don't know about that, but personally I would NEVER buy a 4-cylinder automobile with an automatic transmission. If you have 600-HP under the hood, who cares? But when you're talkin' 100-HP sh!tboxes, you need all the help you can get...
