WHAT DO I DO TO MAKE IT FASTER BESIDES TRADING IT FOR THE 6MT.Im not looking for too much speed. I just want maybe 10-20 more horsepower without turbo. The auto forum doesnt give much info. Can someone help me get a little faster.

i believe you have an 05 if your car is white. 
as for what brands... you can't really go wrong with any. all intakes and exhaust will put out around the same power, but if you want go, worry about the weight of the exhaust too, as some weigh more than stock and some are lighter. greddy exhaust you can keep. as for midpipe, im very fond of the rp supercat because it has the best gains without throwing the CEL light on, but you can look into race pipes or whatnot if you aren't concerned about it.

So far in N/A tuning, the most power gain is a retune with the Interceptor-X which is still too expensive for the power produced. The Revi intake works too. Other than that no mods are giving much power gain except FI. By now I think you would feel a bit of regret getting the 8.

Not downing any one with AT. But when i buy a sport car, I always go with MT. I guess when i think of sport cars, i guess i think of the excitment of shifting and the whole driving exp. but as for AT it doesnt matter if im driving a sport version or a regular old AT, they all feel the same, which is boring.

If you are looking for a better launch on an auto...you can always brake torque it at launch. Otherwise...there is nothing of significance, even a turbo wouldn't help an auto much right off the line.

but yah , why would i post something that the others already had about mods for a AT? If 3 ppl already gave tip on modding a AT think taht person needs a 4th person to state the same thing the other 3 did?
OH btw CJkim i have a "AT S2k" as a second car how can i make it faster? oh wait they dont make it as AT. How about how can we make a AT Ferrai faster? Oh NVM that will not work also.
