First car..

Im planning on getting an Acura RSX as my first car. Im not to sure if i want to go with manual for my first car. But i was wondering for a automatic rsx is it worth acually putting money into the engine..like with a turbo kit,exhaust,ect. ?? Im not really into going to the track to race, i just race ricers on the highways with the family jeep. Will the 160hp be fine ? I want to get around 200hp but im not sure it will be worth it with an automatic car..Please reply ANYYYONE

dont go automatic, Im not sure how good the RSX autos are, but youll be dissapointed you have an auto when you learn to drive a stick, and it isnt hard AT ALL. plus way more fun. since the base has the tiptronic thing though youl be in control still so thats not a factor. and I would go with the typeS if I were you.
