There has been no such thing inside of a C6, but it's possible if you have $$. If anything, the converter lockup wuld have to be ran off a centrifugal type of clutch that would lockup at a certain RPM. Problems that you'd have to work around would be premature cluch wear when the Centrifugal weights are just on the verge of locking up the clutch and the clutch is barely slipping. Another way I thought of would be to use an electromagnetic clutch, working in the same manner as an AC clutch. These are justa few ideas, but it would take mucho dinero to follow them up.

Ah, alright. Thanks for letting me know that. I'll drop any inklings I had for a lockup converter in that trans. Sounds like a Gear Vendors OD would be cheaper and simpler solution.
