Again, the torque converter comes out of the car with the tranny ... tc+auto tranny+fluid is at least 50lbs heavier than the 6spd...
It was a digression, starting with your comment that the auto spools quicker ... do you have data to back that up, by the way?

Either way, I'm glad to you have your participation in this thread. You and I are in 'violent agreement' that an auto is the way to go if you're serious about drag racing the mkiv...

I would say man...want to race out of the box...go with an AUTO...want to leave burn outs and have fun doing stupid crap...Manual...hahaa me..6-speed more fun to the freinds back home who think there civic leaves good burn outs! LOL

Since your talking about 6 speed stuff does anyone have some parts for one forsale? I need a clutch fork and a shifter bracket. IM me if you have anything.

I'd suggest that you also post this in the appropriate forum:
