A higher-stall torque converter and some 4.55 gears would help too...
Level 10 Transmissions in NJ is still looking for someone who wants to make their AT a bit more fun... |

Would love to see a full bolt-on N/A car with some 255 DR's, 4.56 or 5.11 gears and a nasty ~4-4500 stall torque converter. Before people light me on fire, I realize that defeats the purpose of the car, but I think it'd be a hoot to watch haha
Spectator's facial expressions would be more entertaining then the car itself. |

Same here, no problem power braking with TC off.
But what if I'd like to use my transmission again? |

There's a whole thread on the stupid things the 1st86ers did with our cars right after getting them.

I'd say it depends on your goals. I see a lot of people using them primarily as daily drivers with weekend track outings, so having two overdrive gears instead of only one with the manual can be a big consideration. Auto is also a lot of fun with a turbo, but having a clutch for track purposes would definitely be more entertaining. To each their own!

ROFL. Purist :P I'm just defensive because the only other FRS/BRZ owners I see driving automatics are girls. /sob

Psh I have no issues with my frs launching it. Even with big fat sticky tires. Currently 278 runs on it. I will say it took me a bit to get it to work like I wanted each time. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuoCrp5MZyg"]jeremy 6 23 - YouTube[/ame]

I love watching the manual trans snobs wearing out their clutches in 0-30-0 stop 'n go BW Parkway traffic while I relax and enjoy some music. When I was a kid I felt the same way about transmissions and swore that I'd never own an auto. Then I grew up.
Arguably this is a car that should have a MT but it really does depend on what you're using it for and where. Mine is primarily a DD that sees some of the worst traffic in the USA so I make no apologies for choosing the best transmission for my car. |

Nah, there are a few of us male blasphemers around. I think we should form our own club AT86 and maybe have pink ugmm light-red shirts made up with some slogon like "Flapping it all day long" or some such thing.

You still paid an extra $1,000 for the auto tranny, and it only cost a few hundred dollars to replace a clutch so HAA-HAaa!....
