Just go to autotrader and specify the manual option in your search

Found mine pretty easily

The Camaro has been out 5.5 years roughly, and the L99 vs LS3 debate rages on. Everyone joined in, erection in hand. SMH...

There are also a lot of elder drivers in corvettes....I personally prefer manual, but I'm not sure how I'll feel about that when I'm 60-80 years old because that's the majority driving corvettes or that I see at least

I realize we are running out of topics here on camaro5 but:
Funny how the manual guys never mention the 2 hour interstate traffic jams.
Funny how not one ever says "I couldn't afford the optional automatic"
So many children here.

I'm not too far from Charlotte, in fact I took my SS to Charlotte Douglas Airport during rush hour. The clutch in the SS is light, and really not a hassle to drive in traffic jams. It eventually becomes second nature, and it's no different than driving my sentra in traffic aside from the massive power difference

I specifically went looking for a manual trans though, second hand autos are everywhere on autotrader

No need to get insulting people. Everyone has their reasons for buying what they did and I bet not one of them have to do with how manly they are. And if that is the reason you chose what you did then you have other problems.

I drive mine daily and often deal with heavy deal with 1 and 2 hour traffic jams on a regular basis. Have done so for decades in manual transmission cars and trucks. And I actually would have paid more for standard.

Well you'll be trading you 5th Gen in for the 15 mustang since you said it looks better !
