Default Who has the fastest auto SC300?

I've had an automatic SC300 for about a year now and have enjoyed every moment of it. I realize that a lot of the SC300s are automatics and am wondering what kind of numbers (HP, 1/4) others are getting out them (while still keeping the original transmission)?

Please feel free to brag about your automatic. Include your mods if you wish.

Just Curious,
Khaos

That's great, but a lot of those posts are 1-2 years old. A lot can change in that time.

I was more referring to the search earlier posted that we were discussing (me stay on topic? hahaha) , but you'll find that in drag racing the auto is quite preferred and there are persons on the forum that have track times posted here and there. perhaps a search for "track time" may bring some results to your criteria. The auto's and manuals here pretty much run together in searches so you'll be able to compare while your looking through it.

I'm pretty sure the current most capable full weight automatic SC300 belongs to Ethan, but his car doesn't work very often. It dynoed around 1000rwhp or so with room to go. His intentions were to compete in street class, but they changed some rules making it illegal to run a non-oem automatic tranny.
