I am suprised no one has posted this yet, but this is the upcoming 6 speed auto tranny from GM.

I wonder who will have the first auto 6 speed f body?

Wow...I don't even want to imagine how much dough we'd have to come up with for everything you need + install...

But with a good lockup converter + 6th gear, imagine an auto F-Body pulling highway mileage like a T-56 :yup:

It would also be wierd to have a transmission shifting itself so much, with 6 gears it would be changing gears all the time during city driving unless there is a skip shift of some kind.

Third: 1.53
Fourth: 1.15
Fifth: 0.85
Sixth: 0.67
Reverse: 3.06

The STS-V version looks like it could fit in an F-body. Hmmmmm .... I wonder.

The 2006 Vettes have shifter buttons on the steering column - now that would be fun with 400 hp to play with. :yup:
