Fast automatic cars...............

I laughed heartily. Please accept this e-validation. :p

what is a semiautomatic??

It is what i call it, the opposite of what people call my tranny (an autotragic). I beat the shit out of mine and they will last 5 to 6 years. I run it on time attack and on regular tracks courses.

I am surprised with how much hard driving my automatic has put up with over the last 10k miles. It still shows no signs of wimping out. Manual swap will be done in short order though.

There is no drivetrain loss difference anymore between autos and manuals (on a decent car.)

ANYWAYS my 4L30e has 247000 miles or 400000 km on it. Original unit.

The difference between the ZF4HP22 and a GM4L30E is yours is electronic and mine has manual valve body. Yours is a E36 AND MINES A E30.

I hate trannies.

ALSO one is built by GM and the other ZF.

I know Manuel well. Very good guy. Lets me chose how much gas I use, when I use it, how fast I wanna go, etc.

I have driven GM4L30E's vs ZF4P22's and the GM's have a delay when shifting gears.

But in return he makes me touch his knob all the time. :(

(Actually, I kinda like it.)

I actually enjoy driving a manual in traffic. dunno. gives me something to do..

Uhh, dude... how do you text and facebook in traffic if you have to shift?

Ill still take the 1970 designed hydramatic 4l30e tho. ZF is only good for exotic trannies and standard trannies.

Wow. This is great feedback. Does anyone have pics of "fast" E30s with auto trans so we can reference the car and have specs on 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc.

Seems like putting a turbo/supercharged 5 speed E30 together is pretty common. Who here can put an automatic E30 together and show us their work? I have seen some excellent cars built my short time on R3V. Never seen anybody put an automatic M20 to task. I'm talking clean build and fast. Any ideas on how to make it work?
