Yes, they are fast right out of the factory wrapper. You can add a Maggie or buy a Callaway with it already installed (expensive though). Lot's of good performance shops out there.

No not really, it's basically like any other high performance oriented 'torque convertered' automatic transmission but with the ability to safely shift it up or down.
It is awesome as far as true automatics go.
