Auto or MTX?

[NewSHOdriver]

I really want a manaul SHO but there is a awesome black on black auto near me. Black on black right.. anyways had the 60k done. but im torn since it isnt a standard

Should i even consider autos or no how much slower were they?

ive only drove a ATX once......it did have a bit of power.....personally in town drivin id much rather have a ATX.......but out in the country one back winding roads were i live MTX is the only way to live

but then agin i always have been partial to MTX's NEVER owned a ATX vehicle yet......will when i get my next truck tho

 

[bubba]

I say ATX.....but then I like them a lot lol, Go with what you want..... Everybody wants a MTX, I like to be different.

Not much, they start to lose some ground versus an mtx sho at around 80mph. I had a black on black atx with solid mounts, I wish I kept it... it was very reliable and quick! I wouldn't recommend an auto if you plan on putting some serious power down, going with nitrous and/or a blower.

I say if it's in good condition buy it and do the Gen III subframe and MTX conversion at the same time down the road.
Black is the shnizzz

Emerald Green and tan interior for me, Black on black not so sexy, I only buy MTX SHOs, this is my second MTX SHO, my first one bit the dust

I have one of each. The power in more controllable in the MTX car, myself I like to control the shift points. Both are great cars, I have had to ATX car only for 2 months and still learnning it's ways.

Don't settle for a car just because it's close to you. Wait for what you want to come along. You'll be happier in the long run.

black on black is always nice but i love the mtx!!

I would recommend that you decide what you really want and then WAIT until you find it. It took me 6mos of searching, but once I found the car I wanted, I've never looked back. If you take something that you think you might like, you never do!

 

[firebat45]

I say go for it, then do a MTX swap or GenIII/MTX swap, like someone else mentioned. Black on black is an awesome color combo, and decent SHOs are harder to find all the time.

Depends what you want out of the car. If it's going to be your "baby", then wait for an MTX. If it's going to be your "*****", get the ATX and drive the wheels off of it.

i say get the 2010 if you want auto. I love mt MTX its the sh*t

 

[greengiant]

i've never driven an atx sho but my winter beater is an auto and i just get really bored driving it without shifting and clutch work, but then again if you get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic more than once a month get an atx

Want parts for the trans? Get a auto. Want to baby the heck out of the car, pray that you don't break third, or have a diff pin shoot out, then can't buy any parts and have to replace with a used one? MTX is the way to go.

On this he is correct. I've always been partial to MTX's. I get so bored driving an auto.

I'd wait and get what you want. You could always try to find an MTX that needs a paint job and paint it black.

Which transaxle has more mods to their car ATX or MTX?

MTX

Which one has a limited slip diff?

MTX

Which one has more S/C or Turbos?

MTX

Which one costs $2000+ to rebuild after 100k cause it doesnt want to live.

ATX

Sean you get the point. You do not need to baby it. The MTX does quite fine and holds up to quite a bit of abuse. ATX are quite the weak link till rebuilt and still even then.

It depends on what you want. If you want to row and have more mods get MTX. If you want to have a DD get an ATX.

 

[Huntervf]

If you're concerned about an ATX just because it might be a little slower, then don't even bother getting a SHO, because you'll be disappointed when you can't even pull away from a new Toyota Camry.

 

[bubba]

It's not much slow, I like them, And you can get new parts for them.. True it cost alittle to have them rebuilt, if there not out of the car!

 

[SHOtime2511]

to me the MTX makes the whole car.
otherwise its just another old autoTRAGIC sedan.
