I wouldn't say that now, they are very easy to swap over. And in most cases, your AODE cars tend to be less ragged on than 5 speed cars. And AODE cars can be had for less sometimes as well.
So, are you gonna keep both cars around or are you selling one off now?
Yea... im thinking from going from a bolt on stock vert to the swap im doing might be a big jump... but that S trim is probably fun i wish i had the cash for one.... The 4.30's seem like they will be fun as well...
On the auto topic.... i wouldnt drive one.... even my focus is a 5 speed... i just like the control banging through gears in any car is fun... hell i ran the saturn at the track one night racing is only $3 more then watching... and id rather sit in a warm car in the staging lanes... i pulled a 17.2.... LOL even my slow zx3 seems more perky then my gf's auto zx3...
The only time i would own an auto... is possibly if i had a truck.... or a all out track or bracket race car... just for consistency
imagine when you spin both 1st and 2nd when you drive aggressive....thats where im at right now... even on those heavy @ss 18 x 11s
Not to rain on your parade at all, because I love what you have done with the clone, but the sumitomos dont really hook that great. I have them in 315's on my bolt on GT and spin first and second... I think when you get some gears in the rear you will be really happy, but might have to spend more on some sticky tires!
