They didn't make an auto Z06 but there are a few converted ones out there for drag racing.

I heard the same thing that there are a very limited amount of auto Z06's made from factory. I was told about one that was auctioned recently at a local public auction... bone stock auto Z06. I didn't believe it at first but didn't think so either but he said he had looked it up. I'm still not completely convinced... Anyone else confirm or deny???

It didn't come from the factory that way, but the owner may have modded it to an auto transmission.

FRC's were all stick cars.

FRC's and Z06's only came from the factory with a manual 6 speed transmission. There was never an automatic transmission option offered by GM for FRC's or Z06's.

Look it up.

Youre correct but unless I missed it the op hasnt exactly shown us the link to the car to see what it looks like. I think its either a coupe or its a converted car.

Looks like it's confirmed now.

I'll have an auto in mine too.
