take it back and get a manual. that'll take a whole second off your 1/4 mile time provided that you can actually drive.

Other than a turbo kit,which is expensive, there is no inexpensive way to get it to go faster. Intakes, headers and Exhaust may give you 20HP and unfortunatly that is a rather aggressive calculation. If you really want to try, get yourself an Injen CAI, a full custom exhaust and maybe a new header. All that will probably be about 800-1000 so your almost halfway to a turbo and some REAL power.

i agree with draxcaliber, should have got 5spd....it's no fun racing with auto and no skill involved at all.

yeah, a monkey can shift to d and press a pedal. i think that autos are for people who can't drive manual (either physically limited like have a bad leg, or just can't coordinate left foot right hand actions) or maybe for extremely harsh daily commutes.
the tc's auto isn't designed for racing, it is just a substitute for the people shifting incapability.
