My husband and I bought an automatic because I haven't driven a stick in 30 years and didn't want to re-learn in a brand new Camaro. While not the same, my husband drives it in manual with the paddle shifters all the time. As for horsepower the automatic SS is 400hp and we have no problem keeping up with our friends that drive manual SS. The best thing about the paddle shifters is that if your wife wants to learn to shift gears, the car will not allow you to shift into a gear that is too low or high thus stopping you from damaging your transmission.
