Driving a manual or auto isn't the d!ck-measuring contest they think it is.

Exactly. I'm VERY guilty over the past 20 years of driving of having the attitude that "oh look at that Camaro/Vette/Mustang, it's an auto so that person sucks" type of attitude but guess what? I'm starting to finally come around. For me, the main reason I'm coming around is because automatics are so much better than they used to be. I can no longer use the excuse that in the same car, a manual will be faster.
That said, I still would never even consider buying a Fox body (really the only Mustang I would buy) or 3rd/4th/5th Gen Camaro with an auto. But a 6th gen? eh, maybe. I'm considering it because of my commute and the fact that the autos have really come a long way. In the end I'll test drive both and make my decision at that time.
