Why the L99? The Vette uses a LS3 with Auto 6-sp! Why cant the SS Have this option?

cost is a factor. MPG is another.

The L99 is basically a LS3 with AFM. Helps get the millage up and avoid a gas guzzler tax. The L99 comes with a 6 speed auto with "TAPshift."
Does anybody know if the Camaro's "TAPshift" is paddles or a slapstick? |

If it says "Steering Wheel Mounted" does that mean it's similar to the ones on the Steering Wheel of the Malibu, which people have expressed negative feelings about?
I think if it said "Steering Column Mounted Paddles" then it would be a lot clearer what they were. |

Paddle shift is on the steering wheel, the other is usually with the shifter. Both are fairly slow in responding. I found Corvette buyers to find them more as a novelty than for functionality.

DougHoulihan: The V6 and V8 automatics have paddle-shifters on the back side of the steering wheel to allow the customer complete control of their shift points.
