Run a 4t80 trans. I had a 08 monte as and loved it. I’d love to get a 09 impAla SS someday

anyone read the blurb on the Camaro and catch it says 5 speed manual was available with the ls1?
"The 4th gen Camaro Z28/SS is a late 90's, early 00's, muscle classic, featuring one of the most aggressive body styles on this list. The difference between the Z28, and the SS, is that the SS has upgraded suspension, exhaust, intake, wheels, and much more. Both trim levels used a 5.7L LS1 engine, pushing about 320hp and 345lb/ft of torque. They are available in a 4-speed automatic, 5-speed manual, or 6-speed manual, all in RWD. Despite the upgrades on the SS, both trims will run a similar 0-60 time of around 5.2s give or take. For an average example with around 50k miles, one of these bad boys will run you about $11-13k."

I am the author of this article, and I will say that I am relatively new to writing for Internet Brands. But, I try my hardest to make sure every fact is straight, and do apologize for claiming the 4th gen Camaro came with a 5-speed option. You hated the Monte Carlo (as a lot of people do), but that's why I put it in an article on cheap LS power. Because it is. This type of article has been done before, so I wanted to throw in some curveballs instead of just mentioning the usual cheap LS vehicles that people modify.

The Monte Carlo (and any LS4 driven FWD tranny) has a tendency to not hold up well, making this not a low buck choice.
