I drive both. By that what I mean is on my Camaro, I drive manual, and in my Jeep I prefer automatic. I find tha the manual transmission is more enjoyable on the streets in the Camaro than the the automatic. My buddy in our car club had me take care of his automatic Transformer Edition while he was out for a week and didn't want anything to happen to his and since I have a garage, live out in the farms, and have "Private Property: Beyond This Point, I have the right to shoots your ass(es)" signs posted, he figured it would be safe with me hahahaha. Thus having to pick it up from El Paso, TX and drive it home to Las Cruces, NM gave me a 60mi/1hr. test drive of an automatic through the city, interstate, and back roads, and it was just as nice as any other 5th Camaro, but the spark just wasn't there. I really don't know how to explain it, it just wasn;t as fun as a stick shift.

Now with me on driving my automatic Jeep is very useful cause I take that thing out in the mountains and go offroadding in it and trust me, when you're going up some rocks the last you really want to keep running into is messing with the clutch and having to stall out all the time. So both have there pros and cons but for me in the Camaro, stick shift all the way.
