i'd like to say that if you've never drove a stick, an ls1 probably isn't the safest thing to learn in, unless you're a quick learner and havea huge practice space.

 

OK don't take this the wrong way but you need to learn a bit more about autos and how they work before spreading false info about them. A properly functioning stock auto will shift at red line under wide open throttle. And for drag racing a stick will not out perform a stalled auto in our cars.

 

haha if i were to get a manual trans am i would not intend to learn in it, im gonna practice in all my friends cars and burn their clutch before i get to my own, haha

What auto shifts at 2500 rpms? [&:]

I think that if you are smart with the manual, it won't be too bad. I have an auto, but I learned to drive a stick in a heavily modified Ford Fairmont. (Dads toy. :P) I wouldn't be able to race it, or do anything fancy, but I could go from point a to point b.

+1 on buddywackos 'Hugepractice space' comment.

 

Alright, so im awating my loan amount, but i've decided im goin with the WS6, i just like the badass look of it more, there are about 3 that are within an hour or two of me, i got a 2000 black automatic one stock with 45k miles on it 30 miles away with a few scratches because of the intial owner, a 2001 dark blue one that is manual with 35k miles on it mint condition, stock as far as im aware of, asking about 17.5k for it,and the third is also a dark blue mint condition with about 25k miles on it, the furthest away at 3 hours and is also asking about 17.5k for it, but i think it just disappeared off autotrader so we may be down to the intial two.

 

Personally, I love them in darkblue.

 

Me too, i think the dark blue is B/A, they are firm on their price though and i dunno if i will be approved for that much, it says it has custom italian black leather, i dunno what that looks like, haha, im waitin on some pics.

 

i mite be wrong, but i thought a AUTO shifted at peek of HP curve, where it starts to decrease in HP. cuz i know some auto cars will shift like 1 grand under Redline.... but most dont.

 

thats weird bc my old 95 maro and our 2000 vette never went past 3000 on WOT
