Well, as the other poster mentioned, it's likely due to the electric steering. A better factory tune would have been nice, but wishful thinking none the less.

Oh geez...everybody is going to have their own OPINION on this. It would be like getting into a screaming match over your favorite color. OP, do what suits you best.

I do agree that the 13' is seeing probably another 10 to the wheels cause of this!

Exactly, by asking every Tom, Dick and Harry on a public internet forum with their own OPINION on the matter. There are now 7 pages on this topic. I believe the OP can now draw a conclusion by utilizing a collaboration of everbody's opinions.

Grow some, get a manual.

In all seriousness, this question is as open ended as asking "What color should I get?". You have to drive both and decide.

i am honestly not being biased here, i have the L99 and love it. i have also had several MT cars and i loved them all too, they are very fun to drive. i understand being a hardcore MT guy but what i am referring to is the people acting like the L99 isnt even a camaro compared to the LS3. other than the obvious there isnt that much difference between the two. i guarantee you that i can beat some of these LS3s with my L99. your car only runs as good as you can drive it, some people are pros at shifting,some arent as good as they think they are "or as they brag about".i admit, the day that i bought my camaro i wanted the LS3 and only the LS3. after thinking about it,my wife would also be driving the car but she isnt very MT savvy "if you know what i mean". the dealership that i went to showed a summit white 2SS/RS M6 on their lot but when we got there they told us that they had already sold it. then i see this 2013 SIM and i fell in love with it "but its an L99". who cares its a badass car and i can mod the crap out of it,and its easier for my wife to drive. its a win win. i love the camaro because its a camaro

Auto Vs. manual threads, v6 Vs. V8 threads, and which headers should I buy threads should be auto locked as soon as an admin sees it :-p we have enough opinions on these for anyone with the ability to use the search function to find.

It just ends up being a haven for trolls and flames.
