I am not looking to go straight only, thats only a very very small portion of my driving and I never race, maybe some point on the track someday.
Side note reason I am asking is I am trying to find another sports car that has a somewhat small engine that I can eventually put a V8 in down the road. I have a Solstice right now that I am trying to sell due to job issues. I am looking at a crossfire, a RX8 was looking at the 350Z but the insurance will be a lot (my uncle has one and pays a lot for insurance.)
So Lantana...... Are you old, or a woman? LOL I must say, you are pretty ballsy for a new member to come in here and make a statement that will surely ruffle the feathers of many on here. I will take it from the manner of your post, that you are close to 20..... If so, I started driving manuals about 15 years before you were born. Having said that, I love this automatic for drag racing, and it suits my needs just fine. Not because I am old, but because I like it. You will get further with others wanting to help you if you think about what you are saying before you stereotype the people on here that have the greatest wealth of knowledge.
