the ONLY advantage the atx has is during launches
when i had the atx I pulled a 2.2x 60' time, on bald snow tires, that will never happen w/ a mtx
with teh atx i launched by holding the gas and brakes and teh torque converter would stall at 3500 rpm
doing this it also pre-loads the drivetrain instead of an all-at-once shock like you get by dumping the clutch
btw my 2.2x 60" time the converter was only stalling about 3000 cause taht was after it was kinda messed up
