I've only ever driven one automatic (my sisters Plymouth Breeze) and it would rev to 5.5k. (Yeah I couldn't resist finding out lol.) I'd be surprised if the Civic wouldn't go higher.

 

well i know for older cars (like my friends 86 rustang) u can buy a thing called a stall converter that allows u to rev higher.... BTW-his stang is an auto and is pretty much a full blown drag car

 

If i punch it my car will redline.................You can make an auto decently fast, but id swap it. I turbod my car, its still auto, but I know I am losing a lot of power, which is why Im going to get converted to a 5 Speed.

 

That's about right for normal driving and not flooring the pedal. My auto is severely underpowered, especially since is a SOHC too.... *sigh*

 

My Auto revs to red line, when i slam on the gas. around 6.8k
2003 EX

Pete how much is it costing you to have it converted to a 5 speed? I aways figured it should only cost labor, if you trade in your Automatic trany for the Manual.

 

u can always shift it to redline if u want, u know leavin it in 1st then shift it to second then d3 then d4, that's what i did when i raced my old hb. the tranny didn't last long though.

 

I know that my EG doesn't shift after 4k unless you do what charly does. Some times if i really stomp on the gas it won't shift until i lift up.

 

an auto car is not faster than a manuel usually in any case, but a lot more consistant on a drag strip when you have a lot of hp.

but an auto car can be fast as **** if built right

 

i have a 93 h/b dx 5spd D15 non VTEC and my friend has a accord 2.2 VTEC, Auto....botht have no mods...yet anyway
i can absolutly smoke his ***, im talking like 10-15 car lenghts. his excuse is its a auto...do hondas autos suck THAT bad?
or do i know how to drive and he doesnt...?

 

well his car is heavier, and it isn't geared as good as your car.
