10 & 2?
9 & 3?
Left hand at 9, 10, 11, 12 or even 1, 2, or 3?
Right hand at 3, 2, 1, 12 or even 11, 10, 9?

What gives you the 'coolest look' driving your Camaro? I prefer Left at 10. Had a friend that insisted on Right at 11 until his airbag deployed, and got a concussion, and broken knuckles from 'hitting' himself in the forehead... now he is at 5 and 7...

But of course, 9 and 3 are best for paddle shifting!

Honestly, I could care less what looks cool. As long as I'm able to maintain positive control of my ride, that's all that matters. Personally? I'm a 9:30-2:30 - thumbs fit right into the bumps on the steering wheel, and for me, is the best position...

6 & 7

I have seen others use 12 and very close 6 but not on 6. I wish it had been 6 but it wasn't it was close but way way creepier. The things you see being a truck driver.

Left hand 12.
Right hand stick (with elbow resting on console).

Not for cool factor (I couldn't care less about that), but just for comfort and control.

says in your mods you have tinted windows, which means no one can see how cool you are?

OK OK - shouldn't have utilized the word 'cool' - lets change to 'most optimal comfort level....'

lol, just giving you a hard time.

I am left handed and feel more comfortable 'cruising' with my left hand at about 10.

Your driver's ed teacher in high school should have taught you the correct position. Skip school and out joyriding that day?

Left hand - 3

Chewing on 12 with my mouth to show the ladies how fly I am
