automatic performance?

Is it worth doing any performance upgrades for a automatic. It wouldn't be for racing... I dunno, I think I'm at least gonna do some visual mods. Not anything gay like ricing it way out, but like simple stuff that might look good. I'm thinking about maybe painting my brake calipers red, etc.... but I dunno... also does anyone know what stock specs are for an auto m3 with sport pkg

PS: my parents wouldn't let me get manual ,plus I like in SD and there is major traffic sometimes... but I did get the sport package and HID lights ...

I think it's 8 seconds instead of 7.4 for 0-60, but that's with perfect shifting in the manual. For the average person the numbers are probably closer. If you upgrade it it will still become faster and you will get more of a thrill from the car. I say that if you aren't satisfied with current performance then go for it.

Just lower, it maybe find a lip kit, and get some tims (rims). Nothin to major, your local dealer should have a genuine mazdaspeed catalog (maybe mazdausa.com too). Go down and check it out they got some nice exterior upgrades for the 3.
