Why did you go with an Auto or Manual Transmission? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I got an automatic because I am in sales and in and out of my car all the time and don't need to worry about shifting all the time. For my daily driver, auto, for my fun weekend car manual.

Auto, because when I bought the car I had a 50 mile commute to work everyday and was in downtown traffic on a daily basis. I've since moved and only have a 7 mile commute on back roads and I really miss a manual transmission.

Stick, it is a Camaro after all!

BeeRxTimE · 07-26-2012, 04:50 PM

Manual, only cause I got a good deal on the car. Glad I have one though

lynxone · 07-26-2012, 04:52 PM

Manual for sure.

An automatic in a sports car does not compute in my brain.

I prefer the manual, even in traffic. One of the reason I decided to go with the Camaro was that there is not a 4-door with decent options with a manual (Acrua ISX came out after I decided on the Camaro). If I had to go with a coupe, I wanted to go with something fun.

I thought the upgraded v6 was the only SS with an automatic?

Manual, the only way to go.

stick, because when i drive my wifes auto i am either still trying to shift OR i am leaving her parking break on and she rarely catches it early.

Manual=
More Fun
More HP
More Precise
More Involving

Those are my reasons anyway.

auto because I have two bad knees and shifting on a longer trip becomes excruciatingly painful with a standard, was either have a camaro or not, chose to own one!

Driving an AUTOMATIC is like having sex with a condom ON

With the Stick you have more feel and control <<< Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
