[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thirteen Twenty: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SmokinLX: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 302oons: [qb] i dont have anything against the automatics but they dont swing like a 5speed. me personally, i like to be in control my RPMS [/qb][/QUOTE]Stock AOD's are not good transmission's, like You said in stock form they only have 3 forward gear selection's & 4 gear's which make them next to impossible to control. If You have the Aod built and add a lentech manual valvebody and the rite converter it is a different story. When I bought My car back in 1994 I was looking for a 5 speed but came across this 19,000 mile AOD coupe and could'nt pass it up & now I am glad I did'nt run into the clean 5 speed GT I was looking for at the time ;) . By the time I got a decent HCI combo and added the supercharger I felt I was past the point where a manual transmission would be a benifit to Me at the drag strip so I decided to build an AOD that would stand up to the punishment & have never looked back :burnout: . [/qb][/QUOTE]I think the purpose of the car matters, for a street racer where I plan on tearing it up on the street, launching at 5k while racing, then leaving a light at 1200 on the way home, A stick is the only choice, however for my bracket racer where consistency is the key to winning, an auto is the clear way to go. I made 4 runs in one day at the last event I went to and there was less then .005 of a difference between the runs even though they were hours apart. yes you read the .005 right [/QB][/QUOTE]
