You'll notice the difference the LS1 camshaft and intake manifold's flatter mid-range torque makes. This 4-speed automatic shifts incredibly smooth. But if you prefer to work the gears a little, opt for the 6-speed manual at no additional cost. Then crank it up a notch with an optional short-throw Hurst shifter. The shorter throws allow you faster, more precise shifting.
