I assume you mean in a fifth gen Camaro right? Because there are some 4th gen 6 speeds in the 8's.

It can be done but you need 700+ and a great driver. Not many people out there anymore really can drive a manual anymore. If you ask me an auto is cheating and they should have separate classes even.

to be fair the Lmr tranny is pretty close to an auto and by this I mean they don't have to push the clutch in to shift gears.(Torque cut module)

Yes it is a Faceplated TR6060 but if you watch that vid it sounds like he is still using the clutch to shift, or at least lifting to shift. Pretty sure that was before they perfected the torque cut.

Here is a vid of the torque cut
