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

when you have an engine with *****. 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.
