Having an automatic is like having sex and just going through the motions.
Having a manual is like having total control of that sexual experience, and getting every last drop out of what that LS3 has to give.
No really, to stick, or not to stick, is a big question for most. I was brought up on manuals, feels like second nature to me. Plus, my Camaro will be another "toy", driven very little. They are fun!!!!!!
