[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16588818, member: 166576"] I really started out with a desire for a cheap C5, then thought why not a C6. After researching them both up and down I realized that Corvette only has 2 of the 4 things I want: LS power and removable top. Its lacking real 4L80 support and Ford 9" availability. Its about a $15K swap kit from RPM transmissions to swap a 4L80 into a C6. No year that I know of supports a Ford 9" other than a complete custom unit that I couldnt find. Reason I want the 4L80 is that its a factory GM produced overdrive unit, electrically controlled based on the TH400. 4L60 and 6L80 are good transmissions, but dont survive under higher power and boost. Ford 9" because GM 10 bolts suck bigly. As for the LT, this car has to be LS powered. LT isnt a bad engine, but the LS just has exponentially more parts and support. Its better in every way. Ive decided to pursue a 98-02 Trans Am. A Camaro SS could sway me for the right price. Id love a WS6 but those are retardedly expensive now. [/QUOTE]
