can anybody tell me the difference between a v6 automatic and ss auto besides the obvious engine?

Is it possible to perform a ls9 (zr1) swap?

I don't need why not just buy ss

SS looks a little meaner, has stiffer suspension. Also, I'd be willing to bet the drivetrain is different. Different exhaust...all sorts of stuff. Why? Someone's already done a LS9 swap on an SS so yes. But if you have the money to do that, then it shouldn't really matter which one you get.

You would have to change a lot more than just the motor. I wouldn't want that bill. SS has differant front end, bigger brakes, differant transmission, supension is tuned differant
heavier rear end.

Don't even bother thinking about it.

IF you have a big enough wallet, you can have ANYTHING you want, ANYWAY you want it, however, its not Burger King.......you may have to have it custom done.
