electric or manual fire-suppression trigger?
After seeing photos of the BBQ at Waco, I'm putting a 3-nozzle fire system in my car. I was wondering what people consider to be the pros and cons of either a manual or electric switch?

I have had both in different cars. Luckily, I have never had to use either. The electronic type is much easier to install, however, you do have to remember to arm the system before going on track. The manual pull type is more difficult to install and route the cable(s) and you still have to remember to pull the pin before it can be activated. My preference, even considering the increased cost, is the electronically activated type.
