I drive a 1992 LT1 4 speed automatic coupe in bright aqua metallic which was imported from Florida to Germany where I live - a great car!
However, I could not reach so far the acceleration pereformance for 0-60mph which is stated by the test in "car&driver" (5.0 s, 6 speed manual) nor the specs provided by the manufacturer (5.7 s). My time is 6.8 s with ASR on. Since without ASR a significant wheel spin arises, I thought it would be better to switch it on. Three questions: 1. has anybody measured or read in a test what the acceleration to 60 mph, quatermile time and top speed for the 1992 LT1 with 4 speed automatic is? 2. Is it due to the automatic transmission that my car accelerates not as fast as a manual transmission? 3. Should I switch the ASR off for better results - what procedure results in the best acceleration.
It would be great to hear your experience, results etc..
