Re: racing with a automatic?
No. Automatics come with "racing prohibitors" in the ECU. The car detects that you're racing and shuts off the fuel supply. It's a new safety feature from Honda.

You can disconnect it by switching your battery terminals...

Re: racing with a automatic?
wow not one post answered his question...Yes you can in the sense that u can try to get somewhere faster then something else...Just not very quickly. In my experience with my friends automatic the fastest way to go is to off the line have it in 1st then hold the brake it and rev to like 3k then when the light goes, drop off the brake as quickly as u can without ur tires spinning too much then shift up right before u redline, its still slow but prolly the quickest way u can go in an auto

Re: racing with a automatic?
jeez thats not a good idea. the automatic d1 and d2 are not meant to be shifted. i think there was another thread on this already, the gears are designed to give you torque in the snow and stuff, not for launches.

Autos are notably quicker off the line (but not nessacerily in general)than manual simply because you just gas it and go. No clutch to putz around with, and no shifter to have to move around. Just floor it and go. If you want a faster auto, then invest in an aftermarket torque converter like the ones that ArtCarr sells, or Level10 or TCI has as well.

Of course a stock auto, a stock anything off the line is going to get beat. Using your money wisely on whatever you have, stick or auto, will win you races.
