I dunno If this was ever brought up, but I was wondering if there was ever an average pulled up from the 1/4 mi. listings, and IF any, the auto's also. I've got a spare auto, but have always been curious to see what the stock time would be on it.. anyways, let me klnow if anyone has looked into it.

I don't know about an average but my auto is god awfully slow in the quarter. With a 3"MAC exhaust the best I could get out of it was a 17.208. [Image: frown.gif] I remeber someone recently saying that their auto ran like 18s when their 5spd ran 16.5, both fairly stock.

I believe with turbo cars auto is the best for drag racing. Constant boost in all gears. I believe the 10-15psi diffenence is the main reason.

I ran 15.2 @89.8 with auto, 15psi in 86 turbo cougar. Another problem with these cars 83-88. Is age, condition, lack of fuel, octane,

This is just my opinion.

By the way I'm eventually going to convert my car to a 5speed. My main reasons is fun on the street. I know the c3 will die in the near future.

According to a G-TEC, my 88 TC auto ran 16.5 in the quarter. That is a completely stock car with the boost turned up to 16psi.
