70 'Cuda auto-X
« on: March 29, 2011 - 10:36:05 PM »
Here's a vid of my 440 cuda at a charity event last year.  Was trying out the Hotchkis goodies I just put on :)

She did ok out there considering she's an auto, fun as hell though.

Automatic Trans is actually good for a novice.  Leave it in 2.  Don't worry about any shifting.

Glad you had fun out there!  It gets addicting!

Nice video, CID440!  :thumbsup:  Cuda looks like it handles pretty well, relatively flat.  Fun ride!

Your Celica looks fun too.  I miss the handling of my little 1990 Integra.  When I worked at Acura of Boston, I get a bunch of aftermarket parts for free off a used car, swapped my stock stuff for Mugen racing coils/struts, aftermarket sway bars, and a header back exhaust.  Car handled great.

Have fun with your cars!  Both are cool!  :2thumbs:

CID440,

Are you going to the Del Mar GG show? It's this wk/end. Apparently there is an auto X but this is my first time going.

Are you from around Palm Springs?
