Some of my friends are saying to definitely get a manual while some of my family is saying to definitely get an automatic. This would be my first manual car but I would be learning how to drive manual before I get this car if it was to be the manual option. Also another thing in which I was wondering was if there are going to be any aftermarket parts in order to increase the horsepower of this car and just make it faster than it already is? I don't want to make it sound like I am saying the Camaro is not fast because by God it definitely is. I was just simply asking because I am unsure about you guys but there is no real replacement for more speed and horsepower under the hood. Thanks in advance guys and gals.

I went with the auto for my 1 SS. I have a 4 speed in the 69 SS I have and it is fun but can be a hassle in traffic. I got the auto so the wife could drive as we are not getting any younger and we are not as quick on reaction time as we used to be so I will not be power shifting. If the auto was not close to the manual in 0-60 times I probably would have chose the manual. It really is your choice both are great.
