yeah a stall is definitly the best bang for the buck mod on an auto. Just because you won this time doesnt mean that you will everytime.The guy probably hasnt figured out where to launch the car at yet.

if the mods in your sig are the only mods you have, a stalled auto with less mods should take you down if driven and launched right.

This thread sucks. Half of the posters in here did not even type anything coherent.

Buy a stall and win by even more.

I hate how when people spend their precious time telling all of us how much a thread sucks, and yet, post in it anyways. Makes a lot of sense you know

To the O.P., get a stall. It will be worth it, trust me!

For all you know, he may have had a crappy eBay converter that he's blowing right through. For a straight line automatic car, the converter is one of the most (if not most) important parts of your combo. Don't omit it just because you beat one car with "a converter" in it

converter will probably be locked up and not a factor. so it will be like two identical cars racing. If it were a lower speed 40mph or below, yes you would pull out easily.
