every automatic ive ever been in, from v8 autos, to 4 banger autos, they all feel slow as shit compared to me shifting my T-56. i dont powershift, never have, but i can break 255/16 tires loose goin into third on a stock 96 LT1. ive even broke the nittos loose goin into third, but only when they are cold.when hot those things grip like superglue!!!
