i saw a beautiful fc yesterday it was red very clean but it was an auto so i was just wondering how quick it may be i mean i know its not blazeing fast but still is it a littel quick? or could i roll my self down a hill faster than it?

don't listen to this guy ^^



he thinks he is so fast because now he's got a turbocharger. he's suffering from superiority complex of sorts...



hey Nismo, do you have any timeslips from the dragstrip last weekend? how fast did you run again?

but...yeah, NA FC with automatic tranny is slow, you can't squeeze if for power like you can on a 5 speed.



whoever has the auto vert, i feel sorry for you man, lol.

but hey, i'm sure you can pick up lots of chicks in that thing https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

shane, your vert is sweet. trust me!

i sure do have time slips and they suck for 2 reasons....







i have no traction at all wheel hop all through 1st and 2nd, 60' was 2.6 ish, i need to do the 5 bolt conversion, and it was like 100degrees, heat soak sucks and my mile anhour is more then you could touch.

thanks a lot, i guess as far as bone stock verts go its pretty sweet. i still love it

To get serious power from an NA, you have to build for high revs.

The automatic's torque converter can't handle high revs.

Just to set the record straight North American S4 'verts only had 5 speeds. No automatics.

my auto FC was quick man i dunno what these guys are talking about. took her up to 138mph and she went up to 125mph with no hesitation . Form 125 to 138 it was rather slow.



My car is stick now and i notice a slight difference in acceleration. Not drastic



FCs are great man. Save a rotary. Auto or Stick

you need to drive or ride in a TII or FD to realise how slow a n/a is.

well thats besides the point im comparing a auto to stick for a FC Na ,not a N/a to T2 or



an FC to FD, thats makes no sense for a comparison. Obvisouly a turbo FC is faster than an Na and a FD is faster than a FC (all cars are referenced to be in stock form)





Jason

i've driven cars that make FD's feel slow as ****. Its all relative.



BUT. Auto Fc's are slow relative to pretty much anything. They suck. I had an auto 91 vert. It drove me nuts. I loved getting over to the 5 speed when i got my hands on one.

hey now, let's not make this into a "turbo kicks NAs ass" type of thread.



there are quite a few modified NAs that will walk all over a stock TII, so yeah, it is all relative https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



it's all about what you like also. not much beats a turbo for power on a rotary, but the non-turbo has its advantages.

i tend to respect a fast NA more than a fast TII. it's a lot harder and you really need to pay attention to the details...

If so let me know cause there's plenty out there in the scrapper!!

That's all it is, just a rumor. All FC's were 6 port in the N/A version, and 4 port in the TII version. You are thinking of SA/FB's.
