i'm not sure but with a turbo wouldn't you want a manual to keep the turbo spooled up, i always thought a supercharger was better with an automatic.

Maybe in 2011 the camaro/auto will have a box to check for another motor option say a LS3 or maybe even a LSA

well, with the paddle shifting that the auto has, it should be easier to keep the boost up. altho no-lift shift is a nice feature in a manual

agreed!, nothing like a stalled auto trans,, especially a 6l80e with 4 to 1 first gear,, should make for some impressive 60ft times
