There is really no argument here, but its okay, I would be mad if i bought a automatic too.

On the street? Apparently not. It got from point A to point B quicker than the manual, even if it was by 1/100 of a second it was still quicker.

No, on the street past a quarter mile, the manual would have walked it, so if point b were any further from point a, it wouldn't have been a contest. Putting aside the driver skill and the fun factor of the manual, why are you so quick to put the auto on a pedestal? The 2 mph trap speed is much more significant AND impressive then the 1/100 of a second.

Lets give you an example, because you seem to be missing the point.

A ls1 camaro runs a 12.89, and for the sake of the example, so does the l99 camaro. The l99 traps 2 mph faster, that means that the l99, is a faster car. Okay, they are just as fast in the quarter, but anything past that, the l99 would have walked it without question.

Not to mention, if it were a roll race, the l99 would have had no chance, and you would have seen how much more dominant the ls3 manual was.

Understand?

Ok!

He acts like I care what happens on the street lol.

Wow, are you guys serious? Aside from the fact that you missed the point completely, the higher trap speed is evidence of more potential for a greater stock time, so when another driver goes out there and cuts a better 60', the ls3 will be quicker in the quarter mile.

Ok!

Ok!

Until then my friend.

Okay, so we can agree, without question, that the l99 runs a quicker quarter mile, but is indeed a slower car. Glad we're on the same page.

You can borrow mine

DOnt underestimate 4th gen LS1's alot of the 98 were freaks. I remember seeing a dyno run at 285 at the wheels and they are lighter. Fast cars. I could see it even becasue the 5th gen is a lil on the J Lopez ass side.
