I live on Long Island, you may have heard of it. I know what traffic is.

And I wasn't ******* on Automatics for practicality, I was stating that if you had intentions to race, not daily drive, and get low ETs that logically you should be looking at a 5spd. Just common sense, don't get your panties in a bunch.

I guaran-____ing-tee you that you will never hear an auto driver say "I only lost to <insert car here> because I mis-shifted."
With a couple mods to the Auto tranny, it can actually perform well. And before you say "but you have to mod the tranny to do that" it's all on the same principle of adding an aftermarket clutch/flywheel.

ill get a little crazy with it once its broke in
Rsx Type S runs around 14.7 the new civic si is around 15.1 roughly I think you could do really well with a TRD set up. slap a pulley on I/H/E cams and run it on a dyno then tune it and you should do real good against these cars. Ive pulled a lot out of my old single cam vtec and b16 I know you could do the same with the tc.
