Disappointed in Chevy
I'm here at the chevy dealer as we speak and I came lookin to purchase a vette and there isn't a single stick shift grand sport or coupe, I thought that was a little strange so I go check out all the camaros and not a single ss or ss/rs was manual I mean what the hell that's just crazy and I can't believe it... Only thing I like when I test drove a Camaro was the HUD why are there so many autos tho

Light Pewter Metallic- 2001 Camaro SS
a lot of older men are driving these cars because of the amount of money it takes to buy them and many of them would prefer to not have to deal with driving a stick.

It's not Chevrolet's fault. That dealer ordered those vehicles. Our dealer we have very little manual transmission vehicles for the simple fact that they don't sell as good. Don't get me wrong, we've sold quite a few manual cars, but 90% of the people buying new vehicles want an automatic.

Light Pewter Metallic- y2k 8-cylinder catfish
The traditional manual transmission (while really fun to have when driving) seems to be heading in the direction of being a thing of the past.

That depends. The hashes mean a lot to some people.....hahahha
Not in the GS. The 6-speed engine is NOT the same as the engine in the A6 GS. Reason being the 6-speed cars get hand built engines that are build side by side with the Z06 engine. The manual tranny cars prove to have some extra HP over the automatics. At least that is what most of the on-line people are saying who have them on a dyno. Wouldnt doubt it.
