lol...

makes little sense to me, as the ATX won't go past 4k to protect the torque converter.

I dunno what the rating on the torque converter is, but I can get cleanly to about 3-3500rpm and launch....

Not that that is any better, but....

Tell him when he blows his tranny I'll sell him a rebuilt one for $5000.00! If he's stupid enough to intentionally break his tranny, just maybe he'll be stupid enough to pay me! :D

I'll give a used atx sho tranny 10 nuetral drops before it starts slipping. Make him learn about the car before he beats the living **** out of it. Let him know that he's getting ready to spend alot of money.

Back in Michigan ... again.
A friend of mine went through his freshly rebuilt 93 ATX in barely 1 month. Was fond of neutral dropping 'till one day I caught him doing it. His excuse? It was the only way he could keep up with MTX SHO's :rolleyes: He's now on his 3rd transmission, and suffice to say he's learned his lesson.

Tried that on a rental Camry at 4K rpm. Never seen another Camry peel that long. Would never risk that on a SHO, causes damage to the diff.

What will happen is you will blow a hole in the side of your tranny case when the diff lets go. :rolleyes:

When you do neutral drops sleepa, you will find out that the final neutral drop you do will cost thousands.

Well, I tried. :)

sleepa...my bad; didn't mean to jump your case like that. I'm a MTX guy myself, and as such I know next to nothing about the automatics. So I stand humbly corrected. :)

Yes! A friend of mine does neutral drops, but he drives a Toyota Echo! Not a high end sports sedan!
