I was just wondering if that was fast or not. The car that did this is auto. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200152522062

What could be added if i wanted to make it faster? It already has all kinds of mods on it.

Also, if it was a stick would it really be that much quicker??
Would it get a better launch????????
Could the car take 30 psi?

Yes thats a good time.. it will take 30 psi on race gas.

Why the hell would you want an automatic car though?

What psi will it run on 93 octane? And i dont really care if it is auto or manual as long as it is fast. But thats what i was trying to get answered. Does a stick really make it that much faster or give it significant acceleration or what??

What would u reccomend performance for it to make it even faster?

Well the next step would be really expensive...

Yes actually, the stick does make a big difference.

Well you can crank it up to about 25

So you think i should just hold out and wait for a stick i like? Especially since the next step is expensive and ill look like a complete douchebag with an auto anyway.

U know anywhere i can get a gsx stick for under 5000? You think that it will be hard to find?

I just found a nice one and it is almost completly stock so i can do all the mods myself. But it has a huge gay ****ing decal down the side. How hard is a decal to get off?

Its pretty fast now. I can always just buy a manual tranny in the future and add a clutch kit and **** to get some more speed. I think i'll just go with it for now.
