Why is it so hard to find an Auto TT?! Please Help me!

[GhostOne408]

I've been looking for weeks already every site I can click but find nothing I know they exist but where can I find one ?! I have an auto N/A but that's for cruising around I want the TT for straight line racing. Autos dominate Track racing and I'm sure if I build it right it will dominate street racing i just new help finding one if you have any info let me know please !

Hello, welcome to NICO. Its not that hard to find one, Check Auto trader...

But I'm going to be straight up here... I'm guessing that you are 18 years or younger my advice is that you just enjoy the Z you have now because your current ideas, knowledge and logic will likely get yourself killed.

Thank you and I'm 19 years old And I love my Z car There is no other car I would want Its always in the back of my mind the next thing ima do to the car I stay up late too late actually looking up diffrent ways I can customize my car so I would love it even more. As for racing I'm no hardcore racer i love watching more than actually racing but love getting that rush every now and then I'm looking for a TT because my N/A is my cruise around car And I just want something a little bit faster

Learn to drive a stick. And I'm not talking about daily manual driving. I mean, get a feel for the power curves accessible from each gear and the RPM levels and takeoff. Takeoff is most important. This is, I suspect, where your thinking is bias. An experienced racer with an automatic will beat a novice racer in a stick due to takeoff quickness. Now put that auto racer against an experienced stick racer who knows how to achieve instant takeoff and he'll get crushed. You have more control of when the gears are shifted during RPM climb. You also have instant throttle response that just cannot occur in an automatic. Lastly, the torque converter robs horsepower. I don't know all the ways it does this, maybe someone else can shed more light?

There's Auto N/A's and TT's abound here in Texas. Finding a decent 5spd TT is the real challenge. If you're really that worried, do a 5spd>Auto conversion. Auto transmissions aren't worth much as everyone wants manuals.

Converting from 5spd to Auto is going to be insanely difficult. Plus the auto TT car will be cheaper to buy.

The previous owner of my current shell managed 5spd>Auto, and some of their electrical work is....interesting...to say the least. I'm about to be undoing that back to 5spd very soon.

Well just save your money and while you are saving you will be able to take that time to learn about the Z. You should look into trying to find some locally SCCA sanctioned autox events that way you can enter your NA and do a little competitive driving, plus it will be good practice for when you buy yourself a TT.

Yes I think I'm going to get a Manual TT and I noticed that with my auto Z is the gears take longer to switch Which gives me bit of a stall Before taking of like a bat outa hell
