I just wanted to let everyone know that Auto trannys get a bad rap. I've beaten countless numbers of *sticks* since I've gotten my Tibby. While they're struggling to shift rapidly, my car smoothly shifts through the gears, leaving them in the rear views! I haven't yet done any mods to my car, and I've beaten modded integras, civics, and yes even an avenger. Of course I don't win all the time, but I'll give 'em a run for their money. tongue.gif

 

thats cool.
i have an auto.
i NEVER win any races though.....

 

Well dude, that's because you have an accent.

 

i gotta friend with an auto tib, and its just as slow as my accent.

 

Interesting that you posted this as your first post. Anyway, those cars that you were racing were probably all lower models. (i.e. civic dx/ex, integra gs, etc..) They can't compare to a tib because they all have lower horspower ratings. If you were to put your auto tranny tib up against a car with standard transmission and had the same horsepower/torque ratings that the tib has, you would get your butt handed to you. If you were to race your auto tranny tib versus a standard tranny tib, you would also lose because it's a proven fact from dyno testing that the standards are a bit quicker.

However, there things you can do to make an auto super quick, but stock versus stock, and with cars that have comparable HP/torque ratings, the standard will always win.

BTW..moving to the engine forum.....

 

Moving to General off Topic. This has nothing to do with modications, as you state you have none.
