nuthing wrong with an auto...there is this misconception that autos suck...they do in some cars, like a mustang, but your tranny is fine and will run consistent track times. My first f-body was a 97 LT1 and it was an auto and ricers woud always talk ****, laughing when they saw it was an auto. Dont be ashamed of an auto, nuthing shifts more consistently then a computer,,,just do me a favor and dont manually shift your auto. Believe me youll have fun with it and your next purchase, like mine was, will be a 6 speed.

Thats funny that my first F-BODY was 97 SS A4 LT1 and now I have a 2000 WS6 M6.We have something in comand and Welcome to the site and when you a stall in that A4 you will love it. When people talked **** to me when I had 97 A4 they wouldn't say **** when they got smoked. Just keep that in mind.

Yes, first pair of mods should be a stall, tires (DRs) and then subframes. That will put a huge smile on your face. It does for me <------see?
