I have a question. I rode in a Corvette pretty recently. It had a 6sp. Man, that thing would SLAM you back in your seat even in 4th at a roll when you hit it. I heard that to get that kind of feeling you have to get a manual. Is that true? If so, why? If not, would a stall help for my auto without killing either my stock trans or my gas mileage (well not very much at least)? BTW, gears and major engine modifications are out of the question.

Manuals do feel faster, hands down. Lots of M6 guys around here, we all have similar mods, all their cars feel faster then mine. I havent lost a race yet. Autos can pin you back but its not the same feeling.

Dont mod your car. The more mods, the more upkeep, the more money and the less gas mileage. If thats not what floats your boat then dont touch a single thing. Maybe a cat-back thats all.

I remember looking for my formula, I also test drove an M6 Formula (stock gears), and got on it a bit, but it felt NOTHING like the Corvette. I think the vette's lightness also contribute. I may put a stall in mine at some point. Thanks for the info though!
