I have to eat some CROW < I made a BIG deal about having a stick. I had a v6 Senrgy Green M6 < Then got tired of the Hassel of V6 - V8. So I bought a 2SS/RS M6 Well after 5,000 miles and a ticket for XXX in a 55. I Traded back to a V6 2012 Auto Vert. << All within a Year <<<< As they say Learn the hard way! Humble PIE taste's pretty good LOL

Is no fun driving a stick every day in California traffic.
I did it for years and when I bought my Camaro there was no way I would buy another stick.
Now I drive an automatic and makes my commute much more enjoyable.

Less than a Man? I spent 22 years in the Military(4yr Marines/18Army) retired as an E-8;2 combat tours,3 "combat conflicts" ;last tour in "91 in Desert Storm w/ 1st Inf Div. where i was wounded by mortars/rockets which caused my back/left leg to have less than normal muscle.
And that's why I drive a SS w/Auto trans with tapshift...
So NO i don't think so!
+ ihave had 2 68'scamaros/69 camaross/77camaro all w/4 speeds
but I luv this tapshisft w/no clutch...

thanks for letting me voice my opinion

I don't get why everyone complains about driving a manual in traffic. After driving one for so long, shifting is second nature. I don't even notice I'm shifting half the time.

I got a manual because, in my opinion, automatics are boring. Nothing beats rowing through the gears. Paddle shifters are a lame replacement for the real thing. Plus, it instantly eliminates 80% of the people who ask me if they can drive it.
