Sleeper, that ain't right ! You can add Stg1 to your automatic and get 290 or so.It works just fine There have been a few 09's listed here on the forum some on both coasts lately By the way

WELCOME to the forum !!!

I didn't intend a rebuke it was funny and it would be wise advise
just kinda have to feel for the owner of the practice car

Mine if for sale and I'm not that far from you (Philly area). However, it's an '08...and it's an automatic. If you get in before thursday, you'll get an unbelievable deal on an SS with a tick shy of 28k miles. See thread at:

Come up and drive it. You won't miss the 25hp.

If you are not a stick driver get the turbo upgrade kit and the auto. You will get the max warranty covered power just as the stick does with the same kit.

Note if you have not driven a stick before odds are good you could have clutch issues. Many people who are learning can be hard on a clutch. Todays clutches can be less forgiving and cost $800 plus to replace in fwd. 3

Note too that odds are you will see only 21-23 PSI max in most parts of the country with the upgrade no matter the tranny.
