Automatics are usually raced because of consistency...and the newer ones have less friction then a manual.

sweet car, by race do you mean drag or road course.
I'd drag it. Keep it just barely street legal |

I have a friend that road races an almost stock Evo at VMP and he is trying to convince me to run with him, but I want to be able to drag, cruise and hit the twistys. I talked to the guy that had the engine rebuilt and he is getting me a list of mods and upgrades, seems its not a bore clean up rebuild (cam and lifters, roller rockers, aftermarket headers and gears are what he hinted at). I sorta want to keep that 80's kinda flavor. I ordered a shock tower brace, poly bushings and subframe connectors. gonna tear the interior out this weekend and paint the interior panels and source some seats from the local pick and pull. Gonna have a guy at work fab up a cold air intake for it, barter for some extra bike parts and a bar(the drinking kind...)mirror.
