I don't know for a fact, but I would imagine the V6 auto Camaros are somewhat slower than the manuals. No limited slip diff, less agressive gearing, higher drive line loss ... I can't see how they would be the same. I think it would be a close race, but I'd expect you to win.

Anyway, if you race him don't bother with the paddles. Put it in sport mode (gear selector in M and don't change the gears yourself) should result in the best shifts.
