haha im sure u would i was stuck in that position once as well, where are u located so i can show u what 5 gears instead of 4 and a 6 puck does 4 u my man

my auto is a 69 chevelle with a big block 396 and a turbo hydrolic transmission. 3 speed. it shifters faster and hard than you could EVER DREAM OF

Re:How good are 1999 prelude triptronic autos?
 

uhh goober? and how much did that cost u buddy? Lastly u mean to tell me that 3 gears is better then 4 or 5 or 6? u obviously need to take up some engineering courses.. i never said ur racing auto tranny was wack, so dont come at me like that

Re:How good are 1999 prelude triptronic autos?
 

it costs a couple hundred for a stall converter and about 1000 to rebuilt it with the hardest shifting shift kit.

its a street car not a dragster.

lots and lots of pro street dragsters that run 10s and faster use TH400 trannies. with 3 speeds.

you should've said HONDA automatic transmissions. the new auto vettes will smoke bout any stock car.

geez u wont quit it will u, sure better engineering in auto trannies is around but it also exists in manual.. simply stated manual is the fun way to go, the gold old fashion way for free power compared to a samely geared 3 spd and my tranny was free.. it came with the car... the sick puck wasnt but i guarantee u cant chirp fourth gear... oh wait you dont have one HAAAAAAAAA, Manuals rape, go get yourself one bud and let me know how it grand ya

Re:How good are 1999 prelude triptronic autos?
 

when you have an engine with BALLS. you dont need to have so many gears and such a high ratio.

your car won't chrip 4th gear either. if it does you need bigger tires.

i have a turbo integra with a 5 speed, and a 67 camaro with a 4 speed. don't need to tell me driving a stick shift is fun. driving an auto that chirps the tires when you're at half throttle is fun also. and i can hold the auto in 1st/2nd gear. there just isn't a clutch.

all serious dragsters use autos. you can't even come close to shifting as fast or consistant as one. top fuel dragsters use autos kinda like the triptronic deal. all they do is pull a lever for each gear.

duh u act like racing isnt my life, i dont want to argue with u man, u are obviously knowledgable, props on the integ, and yes i do chirp 4th and it doesnt mean i need wider tires... so theres a lil something u dont know. Do you have any chatting device. if not meet me in the chat room
