Just wondering if these "facts" are actaul facts or not, if they arent then plese tell me what they really are, thanks:
-Breather mods don't make an Auto GTS faster (CAI) -Breather mods are mods that let your engine "breath" making it cooler for more RPM's -Breather mods may actually make an Auto GTS slower -Some other really good cars come with a sportshift option, like the celica GTS -Some cars with a sportshift aren't affected by the sportshift at all, making it the exact equivilent of the manual car -You can't add more gears to a sportshift -Toyotas sportshift tranny's come with a maximum of 5 gears but only on V6 engines -A shift kit cost's around $79 dollars -Most tranny swaps are done on old cars -"old" cars start around 1990? -accesories can slow down a car -accesories can make a car fly (literally, what I mean is if you got a wing that isn't working with the wind and is actually making your car go up instead of creating a vacume keeping it on the ground)

- No, they still help top-end - Not sure exactly the question here - Yes and no. Many will take away low-range torque, and add high-end HP - Yes, many do. Cars ranging from the Audi TT to the Enzo use touch shifters... just far more advanced versions. - Sort of. Audi (I believe) makes the most advanced touch shifter... it basically uses a system of two clutches and shifts faster than a manual could, although not always as smoothly - Pretty sure this is true - I know the IS300 has the same shifter we have, with 5 gears on an I-6 engine - "Shift kit"? - It's not economical to do a swap on a 7th gen GTS. It's cheaper to sell your auto and buy a stick - hahaha... these questions are getting odd - Weight slows down a car. This includes your "accesories" - Most body kits aren't very aerodynamic, period.
