Default QUESTIONS!

If anyone can answer some and or all of these questions to the best of their ability, I would greatly appreciate it.

Are there any advantages of having automatic trans? Other then it being more convenient...

How long are the average lives of a quality supercharger, and would you reccomend the installation of one on a new car?

Is turbo > S/C or vise-versa? Advantages/disadvantages ot either?

When revving - foot on pedal, or in park..

Any cool tricks for manual or automatic RWHP cars? (front sliding etc)

Donuts, how to?

____

^ I know these are noob questions, but I'm a noob.

a built auto can be just as fast as a stick
turbo vs. s/c is complicated, look in the other section. as far as recommending installation, hell yes.
you can rev with your car in park or neutral... I'm not sure I get it
rwd cars can do donuts real well - turn the wheel and floor it.

unless it is built...no ......a c4 or good aod is more consistent, and c4's are strong....but stock , an aod robs power, is slower shifting, not able to launch hard , heavy, and crappy geared (2.40 1st compared to 3.35 1st in a t5)

15,000-20,000 miles b4 a rebuild is necessary....but some guys will say they get 30-40 k.....it's not guranteed

turbo's lag but will make some good power, twin kit will have no lag...just get up and go but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

thats all up to you if you want one...i like nitrous...no matter what anybody says...it's still cheaper in the long run and just as fast

an auto...gotta be nuetral or park...5 -speed just press the clutch.

donuts...just turn and burn brotha (going to the left will work better)

cool tricks ? burnouts always get it for me

hold your foot on the brake and let it rip
