I figured this would be the case. I don't want any cylinders shutting off on me when it's time to layeth the smack down on a ricer who thinks he's fast..

fwiw..I have a 6 speed manual 2008 corvette and I never seem to activate the 1 to 4 shift...

The program is such that the oil has to be at full operating temperature and you have to shift out of first gear at 20 mph or less..

no offense but I never shift out of first gear at 20mph or less. Its a non issue ..

As far as driving the manual in the city? I drive mine in Manhattan (New York City) and its a breeze. The clutch is light. The shifter easy.

I wouldn't let any worries that its a tough clutch or shifter deter you from getting a manual transmission Camaro. That said...if you want an automatic tranny. Go for it. I am sure the automatic V8 camaro will kick some serious @ss.

Congrats on ordering up a camaro.

'Be grateful for any input.

Been running a LS3 for about 6 months in the UK/Europe and have no problems with town work.

The manual you will have in the Camaro is still a bit agucultural by most standards and is noisy at low speeds but it is easy to shift.

The auto is not to my taste. It is up and down the box all the time!!! also if you are going to upgrade the power avoid the auto!!!

My order is for a V8 manual and will be supercharged from day one
