Ooooohh yeah, I remember you Johnny.
I like what you did with the rims!
Yeah, me and my brother was out abusing pops Vette. It's an auto and I am still getting used to driving it. Never thought I would ever say that about an auto!!
I thought I would be slick and go against the L by putting it in 1 from about 35 mph. Well after realizing an auto doesnt shift as well as a stick I bounced off the limiter meaning race was over.
But autos do have their advantages, but with the kind of racing I do, they don't help me.

WTF?! Just leave it in [D] bro. I would assume a 'Vette under full throttle would shift at redline...

Yeah, but its kinda moody when it comes to downshifting all the way down. Sometimes it kicks down another gear and it will snap your neck, other times it will only downshift one gear. I know it all depends on what speed you are at, but oh well. Like I said, I am learning to drive an auto again
