gas mileage? I think I've heard that term before. lol
I'm not gonna take my car on the highway...It's just gonna be for weekend races, for shuttin people up when they talk shit, and for a pussy-picker-upper.

*shrug* well overdrive is there if you want to use it...because the AOD is a 4 speed 4th gear is od....a C4 is a 3 speed...same you got almost the same thing just a lil extra

machines faster than your hand (no all that practice you had in your teen years won't effect shift times)
but seriously you wanna go in a straight line go auto
if you jsut wanna be able to rev and pop clutches go stick
what if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

and honestly i find burn out are easier to do with an auto...you dont have to work 3 pedals to do one just push the brake and mash the gas

What the FUCK? You shouldn't have to hold the brake man...lol. That's just wrong. If you can't build enough power to get it to leave a nice dark signature on the pavement just from standin on it without a brake, then you SHOULD go with a manual.
My best friend's dad has a 351w in his 'stang with an auto in it...When he launched, he couldn't get on it right away, or he'd just sit there and bake the tires...Everyone thought he was on nitrous, cause he'd launch, babying it, then stand on it. haha

theres a difference between a standing still burnout and just mashing the gas you get much better appeal with the first of the two.....or get a line lock

yes what he said. when your sitting at a red light nothing gets more peoples attention or is more impressive then a standing burnout...nothing like laying out a big billowing cloud of white burnt rubber.....and doin that is where the auto make it easier....you just push the brake and mash the gas....no need to run a cable to the front brakes so you can lock em up(line locks)

Line locks are sweet!!! My step bro needs one in his GN to put the slicks up in smoke. to much abuse on the rear brake drums and brakes if you keep holding the brake and the gas. Keep in mind that this car runs 10.30's!! its one mean ass V6!!!

im not exactly sure what he has done but i do know a few of his mods. Bigger turbo (not sure on the size). 2 fuel pumps, cam, built transmission, bigger intercooler, manual boost controller, some kind of waste gate and blow off valve, He has more than i really know about but no internal work besides the cam. its mostly bolt ons. He gets all his stuff from applied technologys. Sweet car and ive even been allowed to drive it.

i cant even really explain how it feels. I was next to 2 bikes on a 45 mph road and he told me to mess with them so i did. i hit it and walked all over these things. It feels so wierd too because he has slicks on the back and when you hit it, you can feel the rim move from side to side inside the tire. Its crazy.
