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.

itas not hard to learn, took me all of like 2 hours to have it down pat...
and if he doesnt upgrade the shift, then you'll beat it with astick since most regular autos shift at like 2-3k rpm and you can go up to 5000 (like 45 in1st gear) and plus more if you work with your gears

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.

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.

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.
