    Way more bang for the buck with a converter than with gears in these. But in all reality I don’t race it like I thought I would. I’m less than a half hour away from a track even.

    Saw a black 6 speed Elantra N today. Cool cars.

    6 speed is way better than a 4LshittyE

    E85 makes good power. It loses mpg. It also has a more limited shelf life than non ethanol gas.

    E85 is also cheaper

    A auto wins races and a 4l60e can be built to handle some power and take some abuse

    Yeah those cars are certainly better with a stick, reverse compared to today's cars, funny how that worked outFrom "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    Yeah I'm sure there's builders out there that can work wonders with the 4L's but it's kinda funny what the designated, hard-core guys use...TH400 w/TH350 first gearsFrom "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    Ya a th 400 (same as a 4l80e) is stronger than a 4l60e. Nobody would argue that, it's a physically bigger, beafer transmission. But there are some vehicles.... like a c5 vette, where a 4l80e or th 400 will not fit.

    Weight is the big killer for a 4l60e but in something lighter like a c5 vette you can build them to hold 700+ hp.

    Also as far as a th 400 goes, not everyone wants to drive down the highway without over drive and a non lockup converter.

    And none of the transmission have anything to do with first gear. None of the mentioned transmissions have first gear issues.

    How easily can you get E85? Around here it was really popular years ago when GM was selling "Flex Fuel" vehicles and you could find it at several gas stations. Now, I can't remember the last time I saw a pump offering it.
