[baum]

I have to agree with the poster above. i test drove a auto, then a man, then a auto again. after driving the man and back to the auto it felt so slow. Im glad with my man purchase.

I bought my automatic w/ RS package at Atlantic Chevy on sunrise hwy.I have some regrets about not getting a manual,but f I had to do it over again I would still take the RS package over the manual.Beleve me,this car still kicks ass,auto or not!

Or do you mean they only had two Camaros to choose from?

I think he meant in his opinion the RS package trumps transmission choice.

Not necessarily fishy, depends on the dealer that has the manual one is wanting to trade his dealership for. To get that car may be costing his dealership more money than selling him a better equipped car they have in stock.

There are plenty of used Gen5 Camaros out there. Take your time shopping and get exactly what you want... it's out there.

At the dealer they found me a 1LT in IOM/manual transmission/with nav. However it isnt in their lot but they can get it swapped for me. They also offered me another deal from their own lot because they can give me a better price.. so for only $5 more (39months). They can give me a 1LT in blue ray metallic with a power sunroof, navigation, silver stripes AND the rs package but it is an automatic transmission. Was wondering if anyone thought that driving a manual transmission is worth giving up all the extras I am getting if i took the automatic 1LT from the dealers lot.

From experience...go with the LT...I got a LS, its still a sweet car but those extra little features you get with the LT make it that much more worth it!
