Z06 auto conversion whats available
I am planning a project and would like the forums help on it. I have owned two coupes and primarily bought them because the A4 was available. I really like the FRC and Z06 body style better. Ok here is my question. What automatic transmissions could be used on a Z06? I know the vette A4 will work but are there any other gm transmissions that would bolt in. I am especially interested in a 5 or 6 speed. I am not a mechanic so I would have this done at a forum vendor most likely.
Thanks ahead of time. I bracket drag race and prefer the automatic for consistency. Oh and please stick to the topic no manual verse automatic posts, or it would be cheaper to mod a coupe to run faster, I am already aware of these things.

According to Dave Hill, the reason they didn't put an auto in a Z06 was because GM didn't have an Auto that would handle the torque. I would try to get ahold of one of the Tiptronic autos they will be offering in the 2006, I think, Z06 with paddle shifters.
