Hay guys

How would the 3.8l go in the 5sp auto magnas non-awd model cars.? Just had a thought about this. Wonder how the 5sp auto would handle the 3.8l and the traction of first gear with the 5sp box?

Cheers kurt

It goes well. Hojo has one in his verada with a 5sp auto. He has awesome sticky michelin tyres though. It just hooks and goes.

i would bet that it would be as fast as a manual. Unless you flatshift of course.

My wagon has this setup feels just as fast as the manual but I'm certain the manual is faster but wouldn't be by much
