Auto 370Z...Is it Good?

XwChriswX · 07-18-2009, 01:32 AM

My biggest question concerning the difference between AT or MT has been from my hopes to make it (maybe not the most super modded out there because my wallet can't keep up with my HP goals lol) a decent performance vehicle. In which I would really like to put a turbo kit on it and do all of the normal things people would do... However, again those people (no names) who think MT is the be all end all of performance, would shun anyone rolling up in an TT'd AT. Am I wrong for thinking having an automatic car with a high HP output isn't a bad thing? And unless your across the strip from John Force, I can't imagine anyone being able to keep up with the shift times of an auto right? Cause isn't that the main drawback of a turbo is lag? So taking your foot off the gas, clutch, back on the gas... as short as that difference maybe, could effect the outcome of a race right?

Forgive me if these comments are noted in another section, just this was the one I was reading right now and didn't wanna derail my train of thought to search for that one lol.
