you wont get a fast take off with the auto.. even with a turbo or a superchager.. your take off will be slower.. once you hit 2500 (with a supercharger) or 3000 or so ( with a turbo) you will take off.. but your starts are going to be like you are barely hitting the gas
you could nuetral drop it
but then you are going to have to buy a new tranny soon anyway and you are gonna spin tires from not being able to control the torque to the wheels.

I'll say you'll lose 1/2 a second off the line, and gain 0.2 on the shifts, which isn't that bad. .3 seconds slower and carrying a cup of coffee to work.
Honestly, autos rule for daily driver/work cars. For autoX or drag, you simply won't get the BEST time that is possible. However, it will be consistent, and not that bad.
Do what you want, then bitch or brag later.

thing is, honda tranny's suck at handling a lot more power than stock
expect to send that slushbox out to level 10 before sending a lot of power through it

I am curious why so many of you think that the tranny will blow so easily, and that Honda slush boxes suck?
I don't know what they'll handle, but I can tell you for a fact that four seperate Automatic Accord and Prelude transmissions have had the shite beat out of them by myself and friends. I've also driven about 5 different Civics, with both manual and auto trannies.
My mom had a 1998 Civic EX, and the auto made it slower than shit. At work, for two years, I drove a 1996 manual civic, and it was a quick little fucker if driven right. But I have to tell you, that the impression is quite different in an Accord vs. a Civic. Accords and Preludes have more Torque and HP from the factory than most Civics will ever see. This is to account for the 800 lbs of baggage.
I would ask a transmission specialist for his view, and ask him what usually goes out in overpowered or beat on Hondas. Don't leave it to chance, but why throw out an extra grand needlessly if you don't have insane power goals?

yeah and beating on a transmission with stock power is completely different than beating on it with upgraded power
automatics aren't nearly as simple as 5 speed transmissions and their compexity that is their downfall, especially when you consider the engineers that designed the transmissions for these hondas made every clutch, sun gear, planetary gear, hydraulic pump, torque converter, etc to handle stock HP
not trying to be an asshole, just saying
