Truth be told my 1st FD was an auto too. I originally thought it would drive me nuts but strangely enough I loved it. You can still do PLENTY and evolve that car into a beast if you want.

Seriously I would never drive an AUTO FD, but a local forum member (a3dcadman) has one and has a few go fast mods and had his transmission tweaked for optimum performance by a friend of his... Lightning fast!!! It's scary how fast and smooth the car shifts...

nice find, I remember when i purchased mine 3 years ago for 8500, but 5speed and freshly street ported, the owner of my previous car was leaving the US so he had to ditch his FD and C5 at the same time, anyway good find and welcome aboard on sweat, blood and tears

I've had an auto as well and spent more time sideways in it than I do in my manual one. (Not to say it doesn't get sideways on a regular basis) but the Auto was a blast as well.
