You kind of missed my point. The guy is saying he wants the Auto because it'll be slightly faster and what not, and there's no incentive to get the stick. I just said the guys who get the stick will not have to ask themselves this question... And it seems the only thing holding him up is that the stick says "422hp" next to it and the auto says "400". Or whatever the final numbers are.
And EPA fuel economy estimates are a bit harsh these days. I was able to average about 18 mpg with my GTO in the city. It weighs about the same as a Camaro and has a similar trans. Just sayin, the EPA uses a harsher system to figure the averages so you may see better in your auto and you may not.
