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

    I have an automatic E30. This may not make sense but I was wondering if anybody ever took the time to build a fast E30 with automatic tranny. No one thinks autotragics are worth the effort, but I think it would be a real challenge to but a car like that together. Everybody has 5 speed turbos and superchargers and S52, etc. I'm just asking. If there are any automatic fast cars out there. If so then post them up. Pics, specs, dyno graphs, tech info, suspension, whatever. Positive or negative feedback is welcome.

          I have thought about going this route.. but how much power can an e36 auto tranny handle?

            sure you can make it fast, but it will still be boring as fuck to drive. I had an automatic for 5 years, I hated it.

                    I knew I'd find you in here Terry......

                    All jokes aside, as I get older I'm honestly thinking an s52 autotragic might be the route I would want to take. Sleeper, late model, 318, vert, might even keep at stock height for max clearance.

                            Anything with a torque converter fails in the fun dept.

                            Unless it is a 60's muscle car, then it could be accepted I guess....
