automatic and turbo?

[poet]

hey peoples i was not sure where to post this so here goes
i found a 1st gen turbo, not sure exactly what year
needs new battery and antenna, gst
i did not get a chance to drive it but, i will on saturday.
got to put 2k down and pay 250 a month, total cost 5k

only problem is that it is an automatic

seems to me that defeats the whole purpouse but i jsut wanna knwo waht yall think?>

i started jumping for joy when i looked down and saw td04
the dealer jsut laughed

any ideas?

Well I personally wouldnt get it. I held out for almost 6 months untill I found exactly what I wanted.

I got an auto turbo and i definatly would say hold out and wait for the stick, the speed diffrence is noticable and if i could have done it again I would not have got an auto, but thats just my 2 cents!

You'd be surprised at the power of a DSM auto with the correct mods and tuning!

A 1G auto will take a lot to make fast. Stock they have milder cams, a smaller turbo, and smaller injectors. If you want to stick with a 1G, then hold out for a stick. On a 2G, the engines are the same so you don't have that hurdle to overcome. The 30% drivetrain loss, however... Ask me how I know...
