I'm with 03' Red on this one because i just went to Kbb.com and the only option it gives you is a auto or 6 speed manual.

totally. all the LT1 manual's were six speeds. they actuall have a "fuel saver" in them that if your not over 35% throttle, it will force you to shift directly into 4th from 1st to "save fuel"(GM economy BS). this was easily bypassed by simply un plugging and capping the wire on the outside of the trannie. just some jee whiz info i picked up when i had mine.
Did they make 6 speed LT1's?

I think you will lose on the top end if the guy can drive and the car is in good running condition. You can probably get him off the line, but as I already said, if hes a really good driver, you may lose. Dont forget that hes got 325ft/lbs of TQ. And how awesome the LT1/LS1 pulls up top.

the 5 speed is only for the v6 engines. the manual v8's were all 6 speeds. at least to my knowledge

RE: Smokin a LT1
well they do well a 94-97 trans am 6 speed, to all you cobra owners you should know this he has a t-56. My roomate owns one. He has a 95. Well one thing you have on him is he has skip shift and that screws up a LOT of trans ams because they have to wait for the skip shift to back off before they can shift to 2nd, second i do not think at all that he will be even close to 275 at the rear wheel. Well one thing that we have above the older trans ams is technology, we have way better throttle response and we have more hp to the rear wheel. So i think that you have nothing to worry about. You should be able to play with him like a 4 year old. I do it all the time to my roomys 95 trans am.
