Hey you can supercharge it. Just keep the boost down to 8 PSI which is about 420 RWHP or so. The kits made for these cars are complete.
You can slap on a KB, Whipple or Saleen twin screw and as long as you dont start pullying it down you will be fine.
The problem is once you feel 420 you will want more
and more
and more.....

kewls.
So the stock auto tranny can handle that much power then??
I will most definetly keep the boost down if it means keeping the stock auto in the safey zone.
But with normal spirited driving (no shifting and definetly no N dropping lol,just flooring it from time to time) things should be a-ok? right?

after driving my moms new ford edge,I remembered how much fun driving an auto can be!
Not exactly 450lbs. of torque or anything but it still has enough punch at a lower gear to give it that umpf to get up to speed.

Made me think about how much fun (and convienient) a SC auto GT would be like.

As much as I like driving a manual,after hearing about so much positive feedback/experiance with a SC'd auto GT it made me even more curious of them and how it would be to drive/own one.It's just a little hard for me to fathom 400+lbs. of rqd torque ..much less in an auto.
