Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
I understand both arguments. Someone please explain why a Z06 and a ZR1 are only available in 6 speeds? I will say, if I ever buy another 4th gen it will be an auto.
Drag cars vs. track cars.
Autos win in a straight line, manuals win if you have to turn at all.
Z06/ZR1s are squarely pointed at Porshes/Ferraris/Lamborghinis running road courses.
Just more straight line guys here, that's all......

Since you guys are all recommending stalls for him, and I'm kind of in the same boat as the OP...what stall converter would you recommend for a bolt on car with let's say 3.73 gears??
There is no magic number that this occurs at, as every car (and location...i.e. running in Denver is not going to be the same as here) is different.
Regardless of the vehicle, get it dyno tested and find out where you make maximum torque.
Run a torque converter that is optimally 100-200 RPM less than that number.
This is true for every automatic trans powered car.
So, those of you with big block cars, please do not follow the advice of a 3600-4000 stall for your car...it will absolutely suck...

I get all that, but why not offer an auto? You can get an auto in a basic Vette or GS. My opinion is that sticks are considered to be more geared towards a "drivers" car and that's the person that buys a Z06 or ZR1. How many guys manually shift their autos to have more fun while driving? Sticks are just more fun, my .02.
Having a manual car is just so much more impressive to me with my juvenile mindset I mean..
-it makes cool noises when taking off from a light
-makes cool noises when decelerating and downshifting
-impresses most women because they are just completely dumbfounded by the second brake pedal and goofy stick thing.
-And they're just so much more fun, and make a safer driver IMO
You have a very nice base to build up from.
The manuals are nice to show off and probably more fun to drive, but you will see how old it gets to constantly shift gears and hitting the clutch just to go to the supermarket or run errands.
I agree that you should build up what you already have.
