Default Ok....help me decide

Like I mentioned in my first post, I'm considering a 95 Z28. Great car, 6 speed, etc. Now, I don't have all the cash for the car so I wanted the bank to loan me the other half I need....no go. A 1995 is too old

So I've found a 1996 WS6. But, it's auto. I wanted the M6 for the fun factor, but how are these auto trannies AND if you could provide me with some typical mods(I assume a shift kit would be good) that would be great

Hmm......Definately go with a Torque Converter, Oil Cooler, and/or Shift Kit....

LS1 Torque Converters are known to take .5 off your ET..>Shouldnt be too different with an LT1....

Good Luck

Just do a 3000-3400 stall and your car will be as fun as a 6-speed... trust me on that one
