ZL1 auto to manual swap

[EvilZL1]

As the title says, looking for someone who wishes to have an auto. Not looking to trade my vehicle in. I know it's a long shot, just shooting in the dark. Why not try

Most folks shy away from manuals around 750 RWHP or so. You need a tremendous suspension to handle a manual with that kind of power.
Just my $0.02

I can understand that. I only planned to do 700 anyway

700 should have your car well into the 10 second bracket? That is, if you drag race.

700 RWHP is a little stout for road courses unless BMR sponsers you with a killer chassis.

The Texas Mile would be a hoot...but you gotta have a cage at the speeds 700 HP could push your Camaro to.

Good luck!

I'm just planning 500 HP and maybe a dry shot of funny gas...just in case. I'm doing drivetrain before HP now. Breakee parts, breakee wallet. Got me some lightly used "old style" 1000 HP GForce axles. The ones with the lifetime warranty. Gotta get a JRE modified diff and a Monster Clutch from Steve (his place is just down the street) along with a 1 piece driveshaft.
As long as I don't do 6000 RPM clutch dumps I'm good with the modified stock diff. With 400+ passes with a stick car to my credit, it should all come back to me quickly. Bracket racing forced me to go auto if I wanted to ever win cash. (Cash is STILL better on the street)

Only regret I have on this car is having a manual. I'd love to do something like this, just don't want to mess with it though.

If you want a 6 speed, why did you buy an Auto, espeically since majority of the ZL1's out there seem to be 6 Speed Manuals.

Understood. I know it's a lot of work.

Late learning manual and found out I loved it.
