Advantages of an Auto?----Modified Mag
I was wondering if There are any advantages of an Automatic over a manual? I found a 240 I want but it has an auto. I havn't driven an automatic car in 3 years for a reason. But I thought I read that an auto on a 240 is better for dragging. Maybe i'm just retarded.
Just wanted to let u all know the new edition of modified mag has a kick *** sil40 s13 and a veilside s15.

Automatics also have some nifty upgrades that are great for 1/4mile times. Upgraded torque converter, upgraded valve body, tranny brake. With the tranny brake, hydraulic pressure is held back from first gear for as long as you hold a button down. Rev it up to launch and let go of the button and you go.
Unfortunately I don't know where you can get a tranny brake that will work with the 240s tranny.

At the lower HP levels you want to stay with a stick. However, when you start running low 1/4 mile times an auto will shift faster than a person could shift a manual thus improving your times. Have you ever seen some of the pro Import class? All those huge turbo supra's are rockin slushboxes.

I would win tons of cash, because it was consistent dowm to the hundreth of a second. Every run just mash the gas & go. I would beat 10 sec cars with my 17 sec beater that I got for $50.
An auto wont shift "faster" when you start adding power. You need to physically make it stronger with , a better valve body, better fuid, ect....
