i thought the ls1 was an ls1 whats the difference from an a4,,m6 what does it stand for and how can u tell the difference

teke184

if its got a clutch...it's an M (manual) 6 (six speed)

if not...it's boring...i mean an A (automatic) 4 (speed)

usually pretty easy to tell


EDIT:
was trying to sound witty at 7:16am...sorry if i sounded rude

jalb

no u didnt sound rude i just had to learn new abbreviations,,,thanks

jalb

while on the subject could someone plz compile all the abbreviations and what they stand for in a easy list?

if you frequent the lounge....
TTIWWOP - this thread is worthless with out pics
PIIHB/PIIHP - put it in her butt/ put it in her pooper



rwhp - rear wheel hp, measured on a dyno
stb - strut tower brace
phb - panhard bar
sfc - subframe connectors
lca - lower control arms
maf - mass air flow sensor
tb - throttle body
F-body or Fbod - the camaro/firebird platform of cars
4th gen - fourth generation camaro/firebird 93-02

AIR - air injection pump, part of the emissions
EGR - exhaust gas recirculation, part of emissions

some others,
APHB - Adjustable panhard bar. You'll see that with LCA, TA etc
TA - torque arm or Trans Am. Have to look at the context and not to be confused with T&A.
LT - long tube as in headers
shorties - short headers
mids or mid length - also headers.
CAI - cold air intake

! in front of anything - means delete. Ex, !EGR, !skip shift - The EGR and skipshift had been deleted.
ORY - off road Y pipe.

TTFN - something Tigger says. "Ta ta for now." Probably won't see that much on here though.

Here's another thread where someone asked the same question.

I think what you meant to say was:

If it's got a clutch....missed shifts, my clutch is slipping and or I just blew up my 10 bolt..... it's a M (manual) 6 (six speed)

If not.....It can get a high stall torque converter with a high STR (stall torque ratio) and earn the win light (1/4 mile tracks) then it's an A (automatic) 4 (speed)

teke184

no not really...i was right the first time

JakeRobb

Yeah, teke was right.

M6 Forever!

darrens99formul

Still in denial I see. Well we can work on that later

teke184

i'd be willing to bet Tanner would not agree...he's in the 10s on his T56


besides...i've been to a track 2 times in 8yrs of owning an Fbody....tell me again why an auto is better

00cls1camaross

it shifts perfectly everytime... m6 leaves room for human error

JakeRobb

Ah, so you're saying that a fast M6 driver is more skilled than an equally fast A4 driver. Yesssss...
