That sounds like a good plan. Correct me if I'm wrong about this; I've read that those engines (VQ-35) can be a little hard on bearings, since that's a lot of power out of a V-6, so a 40 weight oil should be about right.quote:

My Vette is automatic too, I also don't feel like shifting during rush hour traffic, and plus the automatic Corvettes are also just as quick, if not quicker than most 6 speed cars. One time when I was at the strip running 13.4s all night, I was hanging out with a guy with a new 2004 Corvette 6 speed who couldn't even break into the 13s at all (he couldn't get the hang of launching with the manual)quote:

Sounds like the guy with the six speed should be going to take a driving course. If you can't launch a six speed vette through the 1320 in less time than an auto, you've got issues. Getting down to consistent bracket numbers is also important, and more difficult with three pedals, but not *that* difficult.quote:
