Automatic Vs. 6 Speed M.

[v6sonoma]

Basically it's preference. The Auto has shown to be a pretty strong tranny. So no problems there. With the manual you are more likely to snap a half shaft or something else if you launch it to hard, but for most people unless your into the 600+hp area you'll be fine. Once you get into that range either of them is gonna start breaking things.

I will say I'm very happy I choose the manual.

It's just preference man, for me I traded my manual in for an automatic, manual is fun and all but for a daily driver where I live it can get pretty old fast, not to mention automatics have tapshift, I know it's not as fun as using a clutch but it's better than nothing.

That's why you take it out of gear at the light, until a few seconds before it goes green

I beg to differ...at least on the color.

Whites are fastest because the pigmentation is the lightest and weighs the least (least density)!!!

Uhh...the Auto has less aggressive gearing.

The LS3 comes with a more aggressive cam, a higher redline, and 3.42 rearend.

The L99 comes with a more civil cam, lower redline, and a 3.27 rearend.



Get whatever you want....if mine was a daily driver I probably would have gotten the Auto.

Black has less wind resistance. And is often refered to as 'Automatic' in color.

Just sayin'

I test drove both before I bought my Camaro, and I am very happy that I went with the L99 (auto). The manual is a great car, but it just wasn’t for me. I say go drive both back to back and decide which one you feel is best for you.

As far as color goes, you’re in the same quandary that I was- Silver or Cyber Grey. I chose Cyber Grey with the black racing stripes and I have to admit, I love the car. The biggest problem for me right now is my car is sitting in my garage with a battery tender hooked up to it because it won’t quit snowing. I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a long winter!

For the record.

It's obviously a personal preference. But the autos are faster.

Oh, yeah... my L99 is plenty fun to drive (and YES I can drive a manual).

(Darth_Emma ducks.)




I almost started with "oh no! not another one of these threads!" Maybe I should have and left it there.

PS: I was kidding! Except for the "personal preference" part.

Row your own or mash and go is a personal preference.Automatics can be just as mean as the manuals but they cost a little more if you want big hp. ABM is so fast you can't catch it anymore.
