You didn't know that everyone who drives a stick is a professional race driver and they are all pulling times faster than ANY automotive reviewer's professional drivers can?

Interesting....mine must be broken.

I sit in mine, but it goes nowhere until I use the gas and brake...and I still have to turn the wheel and everything.

I wish this stick vs. auto crap would just die already. The whole LS3 vs. L99 thing is absolutely retarded.

Didn't even know it existed until then lol! So we walked out back and as I came around the corner I immediately fell in love with it! I liked the different wheels and the color! Also I started thinking, I drive a truck all night with a 10spd shifting non stop! It would be nice to come home to something I can just get in and drive with a smile! Also I knew at the time I was gonna do heads/cam on the camaro I buy so warranty doesn't concern me! After exhaust, Adm intake and tune its just as fun as any manual I've had! So in the end I settled for an auto but turns out im happy with it!

Great post !!!

I like to feel a firm rigid stick in my hand, and work at it, to give me the utmost pleasure.

This is a very different car to drive.
I swear I could burn rubber in 1st 3 gears on my 323 beamer.
Camaro does not have a forgiving clutch like so many other vehicles do.
It is a great car to drive and I wish I could drive it 24/7
Best thing ever in my life!!

My 2010 SS was an auto, my 2013 is a stick. I am loving the LS3 and shifting.
