I also just cant see paying a grand more for 26 less HP.
+1 I am on the same exact page as you!

I went from driving a 200rwhp I-4 5spd manual to a 360hp auto v8.

Regretted it BIG TIME.

So I went for the 6spd for the Camaro.

If your clutch pedal stays down on the floor and does not come back up.....you (traderfjp) may wish you went with an auto.

I think sales reports shows like 80% auto 20% manual.

I had a claims adjuster look at my car recently and said i've looked at about 25 of these already and you're the first one with a manual.

With that, I hope this trend continues...just means my car will be worth more $$ when/IF i try to sell it privately to an enthusiast in the future.

If you enjoy manual, then get a manual.

I have been driving manuals for 20 years(30 if you count dirt bikes). When it came time for my second Camaro I would only buy it if it was manual, but that is just my preference.


I say if you want a faster car, buy what you like(a6 or m6) and add mods to get the speed you are after.


It does not matter if it is a A6, or M6, it is still a Camaro

Ya need to find a different fence, I think.
My remote start works like a charm in my LS3.
