convert to automatic trans - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

rbidwell · 12-03-2012

I am considering putting a 4L80E automatic transmission in my ZR-1 and would like to hear from those who have had any experience with that conversion. When the car is done it should have around 600+ rwhp. I know that fuel mileage will suffer some, but I am hoping the drivability and less worry about maintenance on the manual transmission, might make the switch worth it. I will not be drag racing the car or driving it very hard. I may do the one mile run just to see what it will do. The Sandhills race in Nebraska is the closest. Thanks for any help.
