the best run i made was
18.109

my best reaction time was
564 on a 500 light

and my best top speed was 83mph

not bad for an auto hu? i almost got an s4 with a 5spd.

 

I would like to know if anyone here has beaten that time with that same car? not the exact same car but same specs.

 

automatic? why?

 

hmm well give me the money and ill gladly change, C'mon pay pal is fine.

 

o yea that will be $2000-3000.

 

Why so expencive ? The transmission sells for like $150.00 infact I have an extra one laying around :P

 

Damn, no offense but I didnt realize that having an auto made it that much slower.

.564 is a decent reaction though for a first timer.

 

Not bad reaction.
My 88 SE(manual) did a 17.4 and my best reaction was .510.
I ran my 88 GTU?(manual) once and it did a 17.1(didn't get my 60ft down)

Although my top speeds were like 80MPH

 

I have a crazy idea. Sell the S5 auto for $2500 and buy an S4 manual (base or GXL) for $1500 and spend $1000 on mods. I think you would be happier with an S4 if you want all out NA performance. All the fast NA second gens I have seen here on this forum were S4's with the manual. I spent $1200 on my car before I f&*^ed up its engine, leading to my ambitious strip down and build-up project down there- \/ However, it ran excellently before I messed it up. Something to consider.

 

It's not hard at all to convert an automatic to a manual. I did it on my '91, no problem. I would suggest getting a lightened flywheel, since you already have the counterweight. Just add pedals and the clutch stuff. One thing is that blinking hold light on the dash. I told everyone it was for "Hold On Tight"..lol.
