Bought a 2012 V6 with an automatic and it was fun but the more mods i did. (C.A.I., MRT-V2 exhaust) etc. i was doing more paddle shifting and was driving it more like a manual.
I went to a local 5th gen. Camaro meet and seen some very nice SS's so a week later i traded my V6 for a SS with 6-speed manual and i couldn't be happier. I have the V8 that i want and imo nothings better with a V8 than a M6 transmission. Now the road begins with modding the SS again
