    it all depends which one would you drive in peak hour traffic if you do that or which one is the cheapest to insure

    Swap the Exec LS1 into the SS and sell the Exec.
    That way you keep the one with low km's AND the 6spd.

    I would probably sell the SS before it gets too many more km's on it, the more km's it gets the harder it will be to sell.

    Keep the 6sp. ss 6sp with more Ks would sell more then a exec auto with fewer Ks. And manual so much better.

    well,if i get the right price for the ss,that would cover the damaged commodore ls3 thats been offered to me but i kinda like the VT's shape,so it was either buy the damaged commodore or just build something up with some real balls

    Exec LS1 is alot cheaper insurance than an SS LS1 by about $400,autos easier to drive in peak hour. Manuals fun with no peak traffic & on a long run

    Would be less hassle just to buy a manual box & do a conversion that way you dont have to pull 2 engine & boxes out

    The execs damn tidy & got a helluva lota balls,still cant figure out if its got more balls than the ss,but hell the ss is definately fun to drive,give it a bootfull in 3rd & smoke in the mirror no worries

    Sell both and get a Series 2 VX. It has the same body shape as VT and its a better improvement over the VTs

    i would opt to keep the man trnsmission car..because there more user breakdown friendly firstly...
    and secondly they use less fuel...than there auto couterpart...not by much ..but by enough...
    60 k difference..in cars... is about the sort of kms i do a year..how about you..?
    if you only had 1...how many would you do...? and man happens to be the better gizmo's
    it loks from a quick hunt ..that engine wise and replacement part wise ..you be up for the same money..to fix either one...

    whats the condition of the manual...is it better > is it a lesser year > look at resale..if the difference in them is bugger all

    I go for thew manual outright!
    for the easy and ability to be owner serviced...with easy
