Their will be a difference between the Manual and Automatic Camaro.

I think GM lists a .1 second difference in the quarter mile. L99s are plenty fast.

I Never driven the auto before so I cant compare the 2. Not to sound smart, but is your father helping you pay for the car? If you really want the stick, you might have that after thought that you should have gotten the stick from the get go haunt you. I know NYC has busy streets so that might nip it in the bud right there. Especially if its your only car.
...
I don't think you can go wrong either way and ultimalely it's up to you. But if you have that dying feeling (like I do) definitely get the stick. Assuming you feel like dealing with traffic. If not, save yourself the hassle and get the auto.

Unless you can shift and launch the manual like a pro the automatic will probably beat you in the 1/4 mile 9 times out of 10. So that extra 26 hp won't do you any good.

You're not just upgrading the horsepower. You'll notice the torque difference the most. Not to mention the other upgrades like the Brembos ... another huge difference.
