Can u make an automatic car in to a fast car or a drift car?

I've seen it done to drag cars. There are trick torque converters on the market that change the shift pattern. I don't know how available they are for imports but I've seen them for American cars. I wouldn't go so far as to drift with one of those units, though. I don't know how well they wouold handle the forces going around a track when stomping the pedal when you need to have the torque. They do well on drag strips, though.

They do come in automatic. I haven't seen one for my self, though. All cars come with an automatic version of itself. I just haven't seen one for the 240. It's more fun with a manual shift.

drag cars are usually auto(slapstick though) because they shift faster. you can use a tranny brake(basically a clutch for automatics if you don't know what it is). if you just want a fast car an auto will do but if you wanna drift don't try it. you'll need more control of the shifts than an auto will allow and there is no clutch to use
