What are you getting, manual or automatic? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Manual. But it depends on progress I see with the A6.

Jose_The_Great_Cuervo · 06-20-2008, 05:17 PM

I'm going for the manual but I heard UGA has a crapload of hills so I'm debating on getting the Auto w/ paddles.

I have to visit that campus and see for myself. I hope Athens, GA isn't THAT hilly.

I'm still trying to master my skills on a manual Honda Civic HB :(

Splicerguy · 06-20-2008, 05:20 PM

the fantasy race driver in me demands a manual. Now, if they offer a DCT, I'd have to think a little on that one...

Shadowsong · 06-20-2008, 05:29 PM

Auto. I hate driving a manual.

I'd go for a DCT in a heartbeat though.

FUTURE TOP DOG OWNER · 06-20-2008, 05:37 PM

MANUAL FOR SURE!!!

FASTER, LIGHTER, AND DARE I SAY BETTER BURNOUTS!!:

3 VALID POINTS I THINK

Still a lot of time to practice

It's not that hard, you will get used to it!

I think it's a given...GM doesn't make a 5+ speed auto tranny that doesn't have some sort of driver shift control. And Chevy vehicles tend to get the paddle-style shifters. (see: Corvette, Malibu)

Congoman775 · 06-20-2008, 06:52 PM

im torn.

paddles or stick.

grrr.

rcaponong · 06-20-2008, 08:00 PM

Manual all the way.

Sterling · 06-20-2008, 09:18 PM

It will be an automatic for me, but I do plan on putting in a shift-kit to make it a little more fun.

EllwynX · 06-20-2008, 09:56 PM

Auto. Sorry, but Manual is just a pain in the @$$ unless you do almost all highway driving.

fastball · 06-20-2008, 10:17 PM

Manual for me all the way.

I will drive the car daily. Most of my drive is highway but the last 5 miles of it is through downtown Cleveland trafic at rush hour. But you know what?

I do not care!

I've driven stick for 13 of the 16 years I've been driving. I'll never - NEVER - own an automatic. Besides, it's lots of fun to teach girls how to drive my stick
