L99 really a good performer ? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The decision between the 6speed and the automatic for our 2SS was a very tough one....but we nailed it with the automatic.

NO REGRETS.

I'm with everyone else here. Between the "no clutch" convenience (drove two manual Camaros--a 5-speed and a 6-speed--for more than 25 years), the remote start, and the tap shift, this car is incredible!

I did the fuse pull and scared myself on the first drive (in a good way!). The machine is a beast. Plus, as with the LS3, you have the whole range of TC/Stabilitrak modes to play with (Competitive Mode is very, very, cool).

I'm sure you'll love it. Only one caveat...if you are young and have never driven a manual sports car, I think you might want to go that route for your first muscle car. It is an amazing experience (but can become frustrating in heavy traffic). I wish I could say driving a stick never got old (for some it doesn't), but for me it did. Have not missed the clutch AT ALL since getting my L99.

Never lookin' back!

I love my L99!!! I tested a LS3 once and I didn't think there was a difference plus manually shifting got old fast. IMHO anything you can do in a LS3 you can do in an L99 without the clutch! The Tap-shifting is amazing and has been developed nicely!!!

On another note, if I was doing road racing more than regular driving I would go with a LS3, but since I don't, L99 is the best for me.
