VINCENT,
I like my C-6 a lot.
Actually, I like my 4th C-6 a lot
It was built by Carl Rossler (
http://www.rosslertrans.com/ ) and has outlasted the other three by many miles, both on the track and on the street.
It probably has around 15,000 miles of use and abuse. If you're going to the track for a lesson be sure you have an oversized cooler and a dipstick that positively locks onto its tube.
It's helpful to have a relatively low stall converter to minimize heat generation unless you have one of those itsy-bitsy small blocks
As CS is supposed to have said, "why row when you can have an engine?"
I put in the '65 Mustang shifter as did the originals that came with C-6s. It looks like it belongs there.
For track use, I have to overcome extreme linearity - not the car, me! My brother in law once told me I could win the "can't walk and chew gum" award and I think he nailed it. Heel-and-toe is not for me.
I can remember "right foot=GO", "left foot=STOP" and hands turning the wheel to the right or left. Anything beyond that it'd take me four forevers to learn.
I see where some pro racers (drag racers long ago, talking about roundy-round and some road racers) are switching to automatics for some serious racing. Also power steering, but that's another discussion....
Enjoy your automatic!
