Are you done? would you like a cookie?? this is where the ignorant people look stupid. my cobalt ss (2.0L 4 banger turbo) would would put the whoppin on ss camaros, mustang gts, evos, you name it. i sold it because street racing is not the same as it used to be and honestly im tired of running from the cops

For the love of god people, engine size has nothing to do with it. stick with your auto, i could give two s*its.

For now, I'm having fun with the addons and such on the 2LT. I'm no financial guru ... do you have a payment book? And does it have an extra line for additional payment toward principal? Just be sure to fill it in. I don't have a payment book, I receive a monthly statement. I called the bank and requested all additional monies paid to be applied to principal. Wasn't sure if they could or would apply to interest unless otherwise noted. Maybe someone else can clarify.
Nice ride! I have one just like that and am perfectly happy with that V6. Plenty enough power for me and I don't feel like I'm missing out on two less cylinders.

I've never regretted getting my 2LS it's a fun car any way you slice it. Having said that i'd love a ZL1 but that has nothing to do with the extra cylinders it's just a kickass ride.

Have fun in your Mustang putt-putt. It's very easy to avoid the AFM GM was forced to impart on the A6 SS, by the Government. Very easy.

As far as the "fun factor" goes... sure, a M6 is more fun to drive - unless it kills your knees to do all that shifting. My knees are old and badly worn. If I had a stick I'd probably have to give up golf... which ain't gonna happen.

Priorities! ;-)

The autos nowadays are faster then the manuals.
With a tune they shift incredibly fast. Get hurst paddle shifters

I love my 2LS, for an everyday driver...almost 30 mpg, plenty of power, tire prices are reasonable...

I bought my HW SS 1st...but couldn't see using that everyday...

so I kept bugging the sales mgr at the dealer I do most of my business at, to give me what I wanted for my '12 Malibu, and traded it on the 2LS...

now, both Camaros are parked til the snow/salted roads end...

Autos are faster without a doubt but I can't see myself stuck in the 10 and 2 position the whole time im driving, sorry. BUT if that's your liking so be it.

It's not all about faster for everyone. The autos are faster no doubt, but they also take a great amount of skill out of racing, I'm not saying there's no skill in driving an auto and by no means am I putting down auto drivers, just obviously allot more room for error and excitement in an m6

I mean I agree more challenging and blah blah blah. I bought all manuals but everyone dissing on autos like they 4speeds from the 80s. I think people forget they faster now. Y alot of supercars dont offer a manual. F1 uses autos..
