Question is... Can you drive a standard good? Some people prefer a automatic so they don't have to shift while on the quarter mile, because they think it saves them time. But I think it would cost more to make it fast like a standard... Right? I'm just saying what I've heard. My friend owns a Prelude automatic, and it's pretty fast. I mean I own a crappy 95' Gs Eclipse, so most cars will be faster than mine but. He runs low 14s with his 92' Prelude, but he also did a h22a swap.
