Welcome! What color is your Z? Any mods yet?

And there's nothing wrong with the 4L60E if you want to drag race. (see Ellis if you approach 500hp tho) It's only short coming is on road courses. I hear they don't like down-gearing under power.

And they are more consistant at the track. Hell, a monkey could drive my car to a low 13 or high 12 in the quarter. In fact, one did all last season!

Last year when I lived in the dorms I would park my car on campus sometimes if I thought I could elude the ticket police.. But this year I have a winter beater to drive around and the Camaro is garaged, waiting for money to fix it from insurance from being rearended.
