Things were pretty hairy with all the cars around. The cops did shut it down about 30 minutes later. After that we all just parked and BSed till early in the morning.
EZRIDN, this is my first auto in about 10 years. My last car was a supercharged Vette with a 6 spd and before that was a 95 GT 5 spd. I actually don't miss them with the tranny the LS1s come with. The big thing to watch for on the 4L60E is when you start to get into the low 11s/high 10s NA or you get into big power adders you will want to get better bands/clutches. For a stock factory tranny they work quite well. I used to have a real dead spot at 40mph but the converter turned that into my sweet spot. Once you have a good converter there are no dead spots since it jumps you right into the meat of your powerband.
