Ok I need to know how to drive an automatic. I put a cold air intake and i did my exaust in my car. I raced another protege 5 that was stick last night. HIs was stock, and he kicked my ass. I need to know how to race my car, I Know you guys are going to tell me to get stick because everyone tells me that, even my little sister. Do i drop it to 1st gear? or do i just keep it in drive? do i leave the over drive on or off? PLease help me before i make a fool of myself on the street again. I want to be the one flashing my hazard lights.
