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

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.

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

So i have pretty much narrowed it down to the midnight blue WS6 with 35,000miles and asking 18k o.b.o, after driving that manual last night it is all i have wanted to do, just gotta wait for the approval tommorow hopefully, then can set this plan in motion.

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.

i learned how to drive a stick on my 97 z28, granted, its not as powerful as the SS or TA but still adds more to the "oh crap! i better not do something dumb and wreck this car!" thing you know?
so then youre making sure you dont stall or run it off a hill.
