It doesn't make a difference to me whether I'm getting 8 MPG or 80 MPG, it's a sports car, what do you expect your average MPG to be? I'll more than likely stick with the 6 speed, just because the fact that I hate to throw away 26 HP, and the LS3, I'm just worried that I'll end up ruining the transmission on it within months of buying it = (.
Woah, POS L99? You do realize that it gives SS camaros the same fuel economy as slower, lighter, less powerful V6 coupes and should be able to take nearly any mod that the LS3 can. All that you sacrifice is a bit in the 1/4 mile, which again has as much to do with the fact that its an auto as the engine itself
