Did you go with Manual or Auto? Age? - Page 22 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Caraholic · 07-17-2009, 11:01 PM

V6 Manual - 59 and still love to drive. Been a stick driver for years. Switched to automatic due to a bad back. Screw the back! Can't wait to getting another manual with this camaro, and never again auto. Just missed running through the gears and being totally insync with the car.

35, 1SS manual wouldn't have it any other way

43YO LS3 V8 6 speed manual

Drove sticks until I was 33. This won't be my daily driver. That is an auto (2000 Impala LS).

Bet you're wishing you would have got the stick now.

My wife said she wasn't comfortable driving one with a manual transmission...so that was reason enough for me.

Plus I couldn't stand the loss of HP going with the auto even if it is only for bragging rights.

61 IOM/1SS/L99.
Drag raced at most of the East coast tracks
for most of my life. My heart is with the stick car
and will always be.
Like the song says, I'M not as good as I once was.
The truth is, I can't shift a car like I used to.

Age - 47

I will be getting an auto. I've owned both auto and manual sports cars but at this point I just want to kick back, pop the sunroof, hit the gas, crank the stereo, and enjoy.

2SS/RS LS3...29 yr old female.

I have had both automatic and manual cars...I really don't prefer one over the other. I currently drive a Yukon that is an auto... I dunno...When I ordered my Camaro, something inside just wanted a Manual...Personally speaking, it it just seemed right... not bashing anyone else for getting an automatic. This is one bad a** car, and either way it will command respect, inspiration, and awe... And yes, it will be my daily driver!

prostock69 · 07-22-2009, 06:59 PM

40 - Female - Automatic. Can't and won't drive a stick shift. Had a bad experience while learning in my younger days. I like putting it in drive and not having to worry about it until I need to brake.

nasty2ss · 07-22-2009, 07:00 PM

Manual but my car is only a sunny day fun mobile. I think if it were a every day driver I would of got an automatic. Either way this is a fun car to drive.

xskip1 · 07-22-2009, 07:02 PM

50 manual....weekend car

Camaro5dude · 07-22-2009, 07:03 PM

Automatic with TapShift - mid 40s (too much city driving! and this way the wife can drive it, if needed)
