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.
I would be in my later 20's, and I was not stereotyping I was stating an opinion. I love driving a manual, I have driven automatics and I just don't like driving them. I would like to use a LS engine, but I dont want to rewire pretty much everything just to use it, so then I am left with either a Hemi or a Benz engine (w/ an auto.) I have searched through all the threads I can before I became a member and only found reference to 3 people who have v8 swaps. This car would not be a weekend car only, it would be driven almost everyday of the week.
