It's no slick Japenese transmission. But then Japenese transmissions don't have to handle GOBS of torque. They would go BOOM.

Many Vette owners put Royal Purple tranny fluid in (not GM approved), and lighten the action up, especially when cold.

The automatic trans is no gift either. It searches and hunts for the right gear - most automatics do.

There are trade-offs for the neck snapping, amusement park torque instantly available at any RPM.

And yes, Corvette Forum is a terrific place to get more info on these types of things. (Like LS3 real world experience).
