Congrats on the upgrade!! Also, don't let the manual guys hate on you for having an automatic. With a proper tune automatics are actually quite a bit of fun! Enjoy and happy modding!

I personally wanted the manual. I've daily driven one for the last 9 years now? It's a compromise that I decided to go for though. The manual cars that had everything that I wanted were just priced too high. This car had everything that I wanted minus the manual. I'm not too concerned though, once I get used to this car, I'll hook up my HPTuners and see what I can do. The paddle shifters seem pretty good right now, but I think they can be tweaked a little better. At least I can hold a gear if I wanted to.

 I went from "ok, that's cool" to "HOLY $#!+ that's fun!!!" I had a custom tune done after installing my headers and my tuner tuned a "wife mode" so that the "D" mode is still similar to stock but with improved shift points and firmness, but "M" mode is neck snapping shifts that really kick the car ahead. Loads of fun and definitely worth a tune IMO.

Yeah that's how I've been thinking of doing the tune also.
Leave D pretty similar to stock just with increased line pressures. And then take the time to tune M to how I want it to be.

I had a 2012 1LS but was murdered on the freeway and totaled. I loved the IBM blue.
The hunt was on finding a replacement car. My insurance gave me 17,100 for it and went I guess it is time for a SS 1LE. Cargurs.com had 2 1LEs listing in the state or out 500 miles. I found a 2014 RED HOT 1SS 1LE with the CPO warranty with 21000 miles. A number of problems with the car but was taking care of by the selling dealer. A CPO car you really have them over a barrel to make it right. ( new NPP exhaust, battery, windshield blades) Now chevy is doing a air blend door in the AC ouch $2400 fix under warranty.
