I didn't bother to read the whole thread. But I did read the first post and to that guy:
If you can say "If the auto can hang with the "mods" then why bother with the stock?" You've clearly made your decision.
It seems obvious that you don't think a stick is fun to drive. The manual guys will be buying manuals because they want them. From my observation, the guys getting the manuals just like to drive manuals. I could go on and on about how the manual allows you to have greater control. And while an uninformed person could say "If you want to control the auto, you just flip it into manual mode and there you go. Manual transmission." That's not true. Autos with paddle shifters still switch gears automatically when you're at redline too long. If you're trying to push take a corner at redline in 2nd, it'll switch on you. So the manual will offer greater control. But the automatic will possibly be faster in the straights. So if you want the car to do the numbers the projected figures state then get the auto. You should be out to crush challengers and Mustangs. Not other Camaros so what does it matter which one is "supposed" to be faster. I believe it was the case about 6 years ago when there were auto and manual camaros. They just didn't make such a big deal about the projected performance figures so no one really cared.
And really. Get the one you like. It's not about which one will go through the traps 1 tenth faster.
