Just curious if anyone else here had an automatic Twin Turbo car. And what rear end you are running and how do you like the Twin Turbo setup with the auto transmission?
Thanks

Your car looks great. I know this is a stupid question, but is getting traction impossible in first gear with the stock tires? I will have 3.45 gears with the 500/500 lingenfelter TT package.

I recently converted to an A4 from an M12. I am running 3.42 gears, mostly for strength. It traps just a wisker under 140 in the 1/4 mile. The auto is a lot easier than the stick to get down the track. But keep in mind the A4 will become a maintainance item if your leaning on them.
All in all the A4 is well suited for turbo cars.

Thanks. The car will never be drag raced or abused. Just driven back and forth to work. Glad to hear the A\T works well with the Turbos.
