Just from my own personal experience:

I owned a 94 Z28 6-speed that I absolutely loved but it was a "base" model. I traded it in on a new 96 fully-loaded Z28- leather, t-tops, the works- but it was an automatic. I could now do brake torques without needing 3 feet on the pedals !!! That wow factor lasted about a week and I kicked myself in the ass for 8 years for not getting another manual. It was still a great car, and a lot of fun, but missing that "smile to yourself" wow factor... Then I traded it in on the GTO- had a stick again- WOOHOO- but not a Camaro- BOOHOO.

Now I have (very soon) both again.

"base" z28?



anyone dissing an automatic who has never driven a stalled auto doesnt have a leg to stand on in this conversation
