I have an automatic and love it. I just put a Vortech on it and 3.73 and she has real good street manners. As others have said, get an SCT and tune the trans, or go to a speed shop that uses the SCT after you buy one and have them do it. You won't be disappointed at all. Just shut the trac control off and have some fun.

 

I love my automatic too! Just my 2 cents. Very good and smooth shifting. Pushes me back in the seat!

 

I have an auto also and I have a C&L with SCT X-cal with Brenspeed tune. It shifts great. Funny thing tonight I had my son in the car with me and at a light I punched it a little and got a good squeal out of it. My son was laughing and says daddy that sounded like cars on TV. I do wish I had a manual sometimes but the traffic here in California can be really bad.
