I guess times have changed, but in order to stick to the true 80s muscle car feel I will be getting the automatic.

Also, I think it needs to be mentioned that most exotica come with an F1 automatic transmission, the manual being a rare, to-order option. Imho, the stickshift is a relic that needs to die. There are no advantages, save for the fun-factor most people consider a burden on most occasions. I'd rather sit back, have both hands on the wheel, and stomp the accelerator and negociate without having to worry about what gear I'm in, tyvm. Btw, the automatic Camaro SS is faster than the manual in 0-60 and quarter mile times, with 26 less hp at that.

Wait, Auto is faster than manual? Then it would be a no brainer to get auto if you want a faster and a smoother ride. Very interesting. I actually feel a lot better now.
