^^yea, the ECU would shift out of 2 for you if you were in autostick.

and, I can imagine it's hard to hold a camera, shift and keep the wheel straight all at the same time :-)

might just be able to actually have sex while driving...

[QUOTE=gold2003tl (90);11136104]

No i flew. My rental car was a 09 Vette convert. I in no way will ever want to own a 4 banger or 6 cyl EVER again. 80 MPH 29MPG 1500 rpm. That thing would pass faster in 6th than the TL in 3rd. Oh and the sound of that V8

Nice video. Cant wait to do that swap in mine...I have a feeling fuel economy is going to go out the window. Far as the 09 vette goes...niice eh? Nothing better than an engine with torque...you should try the z06 sometime-or better yet- the zr1

Ive driven a c6 zo6 but not the zr1..

They made a world of difference. Motor mounts should help out as well. I still get it in the wet on occasion but not as bad. Im going to poly fill my mounts when i replace them when i do the motor work this fall.
