Is that why they deliver the raw power of a 4 cylinder?

This is for your enjoyment , I'd say he's going pretty fast, hah.

I also agree, a 5 speed is more fun. Whether its on the strip or track, I'd prefer a 5 speed.

Project 5.GO!

Either one can be fast. Off the showroom floor, 5 speed is faster. I'd get bored with it if I had to let the car do everything. I think racing should be about the skill of the driver too, not just the car. And yeah, stick is more fun, sounds better, and looks cooler to drive. :P

thats a relative statement

if you mean that an AOD equipped the same as a t5 car will be faster your 300% wrong, it will be a full second slower at MINIMIUM, thats 10 car lengths in the 1/4 mile

if your simply saying that an auto (notice i didnt specify AOD) will shift faster...i'll buy that

but the AOD is horribly geared (2.40 1st V 3.35 in a t5)
heavy
and power robbing

my fastest AOD car was over a second slower than my slowest t5 car

that my friend...you CANNOT argue anywhere.

congrats on the swap...you'll swear you added 100 ponies under the hood

That my friend is a great write up.

Use this tutorial. It is great, I used it last summer to do mine and it was perfect to the T!

While were talking about autos just remember a stalled auto (higher than 3K) fully built will out do a T5 anyday. Yes stick is more fun but I have been driving stick for 11 years and wanted a change so I plan to build up my AOD.
