Re: LT4 Automatic (2K1 Ragtop)

None made from the factory. Maybe a few conversions around.

Let's just say that none came off the line at BG that way. :yesnod: Both 2K1 Ragtop and I know that at least one does exist. :cool:

Re: LT4 Automatic (2K1 Ragtop)

Your right, none off the line, but there is one built by a BG engineer.

I have seen this claim several times. What do you mean by built? Are you claiming that this engineer switched the LT1 engine out and installed a complete LT4 crate motor? Did he change the trans on a LT4 car? Or did he just switch to a red manifold and claim it's an LT4?

Who would want one? If you opted for the extra HP wit the LT4, why sell yourself short with matic?? Stick is more fun to drive! :)

Re: LT4 Automatic (eamador11)

I know I'm gonna get major flamed for this...

But, IMHO, why get a Corvette and not get a stick??? I understand the availibility of manuals is limited, but still. It's just more fun with a stick!

1600 were made by mistake and are in a garage in the Navada proving grounds and can't be sold.

OK , now we ALL know the truth so I hope we'll never see this topic again :D

Well, some people dont really care for a stick shift, it gets on their nerves. (My mom) and in my case it was because the deal was too good to pass up! This time I am set on a stick, though.

GM couldn't get the LT4 with in their C.A.F.E. requirements with an A4.

I've had 6m VETTES before but if you race as much as I do a 4A is much more competitive.
