Yup, I have an auto. I bought it that way because I wanted it that way! Profound, eh?
Yes, I like it a lot and can't see myself ever going back to a manual. For ME, it works and works well. Regards, Jim

Default Me too...

I am just perfecting my manual shift mode. If you shift when the tack hits 4K it seems to shift ligtning fast. I am happy too by the way with my auto.

I love the automatic, its the best alternative to a manual I've ever experienced. The manual feature is really fun and full auto is flawless, it really wails when you approach redline.

Yes, and that is at 1800 ft altitude. (NHRA alt. formula converts that to 13.814 @ sea level.) I was anywhere from 1/10 to 5/10 quicker than a 6MT Z running the same day. I am very pleased with those numbers on a bone stock Z w/auto. The timeslip is posted somewhere around on the forum and you can see the 60' times, etc. I have just changed to new 18" rims all around w/275/40/18 on the rear and that puts down a LARGE footprint so I am anxious to see how it will help my launch ability next week. Regards, Jim

You will most likely run a slower time and for sure a slower trap speed unless the tires are the same height as the ones you removed
