Well I drove a Probe Auto for about 6 years... I had it overhauled after the first year... I swear i'm telling you my auto kicked serious butt !!!! I tromped on the gas and that baby moved !!! Thier was no reaction time it was instantious. I never drove a Honda Auto so i can't say too much about them. But I would say go ahead and mod it. In realitly all autos are only a little slower than thier counterparts. and you do lose some horsepower in the transmittion. But they still sell corvettes with auto trans ... so it can't be that bad.
