I wanna know too...Oh and why does everyone ***** about auto. If its an auto, then you know it hasnt been pushed hard in most cases and you can always swap the tranny out

B/c Not alot of people take the time to do the swap......and just b/c it's a auto does not mean it hasn't been drove hard....i see so many people that drive like dumba**'s everyday with there little mufflers, and i know for a fact that they are auto.......so dont give me that crap.....just b/c it looks nice and is a auto does not mean it has not been drove hard..........

Very true...but for that reason that 5 speed could be driven by a dumbass and thats when your problems commence...its more likely to happen in a stick...Most of the time you can find autos for much cheaper like this guy here...

Nice find bud thats a good price Keep it stock and clean...

You better know what your doing with that nitrous and your engine better be able to handle it. Ive had friends who have had bad experiences with nos, IMO, you should invest in a turbo or suspension instead.

I agree...but for the most part it can be pretty safe if you know what you are doing. You need proper fuel management and a rebuilt block would help a lot. Ive actually considered nitrous for any car that I get because you can conceal it unlike a turbo. Smog in Cali sucks ***...

Before anything however, work on suspension/wheels/tires/brakes. Its stupid to have 1000 horsepower with stock shoes and socks
