snowman- it has a 6 speed auto with paddle shifters, all aluminum v-8 engine with direct injection and it puts out 460hp with the perf. exhaust system. also has the z51 pkg. and magnetic shocks. the shocks let you change the handling of the car and also changes the throttle tip in. for you race car guys, it has a dry sump oiling system that takes 10 qts. of oil each change. mobil one of course. on the z51 the tires are not the same front to rear. 19in on front and 20in on rear. also Michelin says not to drive on these tires below 40 degrees. plan to have it sit during the winter with the battery tender on it. sorry for the long post,but hope I answered your questions. if any more, please pm me if you want.
