Maybe someone will read this that owns the car. Who knows stranger things have happened. It's seems rather odd that the L78 auto cars were so non existent in comparison to their manual counterparts when in LS6 variety the auto cars were pretty common. Doesn't add up, </div></div>

Interesting. Maybe because the LS6 made so much more torque than the L78 an auto worked better there. I've always had this perception in the back of my mind of the L78 being more of a high winder and the LS6 just being a freight train from off idle all the way to red line. I've ridden in and driven many modded big block Chevys but don't have much real experience with stock examples of either, so maybe that perception is a little off.
