Default Money For Nothing?

I have a '92 GT with an AOD tranny, should I spend money on performance parts if it is an automatic?

well its based on personal preferance. both 5speeds and AOD's can be made really fast (ask roundman) but when it comes down to it, do you like slamming into the gears or just sitting back with your foot on the pedal and watching the scenery lol....

manual owners hate it when you eat them up with a AOD. youll love the face they make but dont expect to do this with a stock AOD

IN eliminations races, consistency is KEY. Impossible to miss a shift in an automatic.
