I was looking at a late model Lincoln LS; a mid-sized car. The automatic problem will probably be fixed with an aftermarket controller to allow a TC lock-up and remove all slippage. Therefore, from other forums about that issue which I've read, it appears that an automatic may actually become very efficient, and lower the cost of an electric conversion to boot.
BTW, I'm not really worried about burnouts. Fast acceleration is more important.
