    Arrow speed

    i have a 88 lx-i 4-door with a automatic tranny. the 4-speed.

    is my car slower than a 5-speed manual of the same year, or not?

    ohh yeah and what will i top out at with my auto?

    thanks for any help.

    an auto car is always slower than a manual car ( if driven by a good driver !)

    well either an auto or manual, top speed is the top speed. If ur talking about 'fast' as in fast acceleration, well u know the answer. but as in whic tranny will hit the top speed, well depends on how good ur tranny is and will probably go the same 110mph. Never try testing it out though, u do know if u hit more than 30mph the limit u get a 240 buck ticket and a 5 point ticket right? Well, i learn from my mistakes. anyways, topping out as in having no juice, is right after ur peak hp rpm, after that rpm ur power just drops like a mofo. its not a gradual decrease, but fully stock set up will cut u off around 6200 rpm or what not considering we
    make max hp at 5500rpm fully stock.

    I hope i answered ur question
