        It's not bad for it... but an automatic is fastest when you let it shift itself. Just put it in D4 and concentrate on your gas pedal.

          Bahaha, yes concentrate hard, because it is very tricky racing and automatic

            Properly modulating the gas pedal takes some skill... I learned that with my GTP! It's not as involved as driving a manual... but it's not all just press and go.

              I've only gotten it to about 60-65 in d3. Are you sure it's not faster, because it seems like it has way more pull and jump of the line.

                *sigh*

                Take it to a track and test it for yourself.

                  It does have more pull off the line than it will at 60-65. It takes exponentially more power to cause the same increase in acceleration at 60 than it does at 0. Trust us, the TCU is going to shift your ride far more efficently than you are going to. Honda programmed it to shift at the right time under all types of acceleration.

                    The shifter really only tells the TCU to shift the transmission anyway. The auto shifter is not physically connected to the gears.

                      manually shifting an auto is the best way to get the most out of it ,but it also is the quickest way to fuck it up
                      I went through 3 Auto trannies (trannies ) in the past cause of that.
                      i don't recommend it.If you want to manually shift a tranny,save up for a 5 speed swap

                        ATX raced his car on the drag strip, and couldn't break out of the 16s with his H22 when he shifted manually. It shifted faster by itself.

                          If I learn to properly modulate my gas pedal, you think i'd be able to beat the 17.6 second quarter mile time my car is rated for? And how do yyou properly modulate it?
