So it would make sense that opting for a higher-tier feature from a lower-tier feature would mean more $$$...

Wow this is the first sports car forum I've ever been on where people get offended when you make fun of automatics. Wow.

"Of course if you can't drive stick, you shouldn't be buying this car "


That was kind of low. My wife can't drive a stick so that is one of my reasons for getting the auto for when we take trips. Alot of you say you would never let you wife drive yours and that is fine. But my wife and I are a team, and she has never told me no I could not drive her 50,000.00 Acura RL.

So why don't you teach her then? Its a manual transmission, it's not rocket science.

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

With that much horsepower I would rather she was concentrated in the direction it is going. Also I said that was one of the reasons, another one is I have a bad left knee from a sports injury and my knee locks up when the weather changes. We have alot of stop and go traffic and that means alot of shifting. Not good with a bum knee.

Well yeah thats what i said, if you have a physical reason, thats different. Oh maybe I'm thinking of another thread actually. I dunno

That's what I meant by my post. The Tremec costs more money so taking it out makes the choice of picking automatic cheaper on the V8 vs the less expensive Aisin unit in the V6 that is being removed.. Even though the auto on the V8 is more robust and more expensive in reality in comparison when comparing parts for parts. That means the tremec must be a pricey piece of hardware.

What do you expect? You just slapped the faces of all who ordered an automatic.....which I bet is more than you think.

A camaro is still a camaro.....auto or manual.....

[/QUOTE]Or better yet, why not put the starter in the stick too. There are sensors everywhere, the car KNOWS when it's in neutral. The chances of a manual with a properly installed remote starter driving itself down the street are about the same as an automatic doing that.... NILL. And I sure would like jumping into a warm car in the morning.[/QUOTE]

Remote start in the manual!!! I feel a poll coming.

Agreed. I bought an auto, not because I can't drive a stick, but because I don't want to. A lot of people who will daily drive the car don't want to deal with shifting in rush-hour traffic.

1. i believe there is a discount its in the convenience and connectivity package because that is where the remote start is located under the dealer codes
2. no it won't be in manuals because i could be wrong but i believe its been outlawed in certain states and GM would prefer not to get sued(as would i prefer then not to either)

and some of us have reasons like we live in areas that are not flat roads hills and mountains and if i had a daily driver sure i would get the stick but considering the stopping and the going up and down hills in my area i would rather get the much easier auto with tapshift

yes i can drive stick and it is fun until as stated ^ by erased rush hour roll around

right on girl!!!!!!

Don't know why the automatic sportscar is such a big deal lol, for me it is as much a non-issue as picking a color or deciding between leather or cloth seats - simply personal preference. I prefer keeping driving as simple as possible and try to devote my attention to other drivers who may not know what they are doing and could run into me. I also prefer to keep both hands on the wheel as much as possible, and just don't want to keep having to jump over to the shift knob all the time. I am sure it is fun to drive manual, but for me tapshift will be plenty.

And while I am on a rant, maybe a poll filter should be implelented (if the mods don't mind) so that a mod must approve a poll before it is posted so that unnecessary polls are eliminated.
My $.02.
