I love you sig. Oddly enough I captioned a picture of me driving a Vette at the Rev It Up this past summer with that same line.
I can see the cons you pointed out to the portable nav system. It happens to work well for me, because either my fiancee or I use it maybe 1 in 10 driving trips, so it just stays home whenever we don't need it, and doesn't clutter up the dash. If one of us does need it we can just transfer it from one car to another, so we don't need to buy two. It also has a touchscreen, and is very easy to use, in my opinion. Normally I'd much rather have an integrated system. I also have an aftermarket XM system in my car and it does bug me how tacked on it looks. I just figure for me, the pros far outweigh the cons for an aftermarket nav system.
I also get your points about the soft-top, and those are some of the reasons I don't want a convertible either. As much as open air driving would be nice, especially in Southern California, a coupe is just the better option for my intended use (which includes racing).
The GM automatic does have pretty quick sift times in manual mode for a traditional automatic. I know a lot of manual guys here just swear by the connection a true manual gives you to the car, and you can't really argue with that. There is the possibility of a dual clutch tranny in the future, and I'm keeping my hopes up for that. If that is offered when I buy my Camaro, I'd go for the DCT, but otherwise I think it will be a manual for me.
