Default acceleration

I have ruby convertible LT1 1) does a car have better acceleration by using the automatic transmission, or if i shift manually and accelerate each gear up to 5500 rpm? 2) What is the difference in acceleration if I start with or without a traction control enabled? 3) Is there any kind of the governor that control the maximum rpm? If yes, when is it turned on? 4) What is the acceleration time of the LT1 automatic, up to 1/4 of a mile, or from 0 to 60 rpm? Same question for the manual transmission.Thanks for yours respond!

Traction control off, Shifter in '3' (or 'd' not OD) , empty stretch of road, left foot on the brake, right foot brings Gas up to 1100 rpm or so (experiment), floor right foot, drop left foot - hold on! :smash:

Save for new tires.
