made my mind up 2 get a Z. not the best on a stick... i can drive em ok. not gonna tear em up or anything but i prefer the ease of auto. how much slower is the auto than manual? does it restrict bolt ons? like i had to convert my CRX to 5 spd to turbo it because a turbo would destroy my auto tranny. can i turbo a auto 350? i just wanna mild setup, maybe a lil street racing from time to time but nothing major. whats gonna be the diffrence in 1/4 mile times? i heard manual shift mode on the auto was pretty cool, does in shorten the speed gap between auto and m/t at all? thanks a ton guys

stillen and other companies make modified auto trannsmissions for the Z and G cars. turbos on an auto for drag applications tend to be a little faster if setup properly. check out stillen and level10 for more info on beefed up autos. You can also go with a shorter final drive for some added push.

Get the car you now you will ultimately want when all is said and done otherwise you might not be completely satisfied and thats no fun!
