Thumbs up Autobox Rox

Hi,
Automatics are easy on the leg and drivetrain. I now run a Performance automatic AOD with 2,400 stall. Mat the gas and go, nobody with a clutch could match the perfect launch every time.
Carrol 's personal twin blown cobra was a 428 with an automatic. [can't get anymore authentic than that]
It's your choice anyway,get out and have some fun.
Perry.

the FMX is a pretty strong transmission. The only problem is finding good torque converters (and other aftermarket items) for it. If I were you, I would opt for a built C4.
