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
you can afford a GS ?Quote:

not at all.. tho when you think about it..the GS was made almost exclusively to offer z06 styling with the ability to have a convertible and or a a6...for the price of a GS ..most would get a z06 :)Quote:

well after searching more i found one with a mysterious hurst symbol on it i didnt know that they had that option is that like slp on the 4th gen?
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.
auto>stick
/thread
depends on what you are using it for you cant auto x a A4 as fast as a M6Quote:

if i were to buy a new vette i'd opt for an A6... :shrug: paddle shifters ftw!!!
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.
My sister and her hubby bought a 2011 Camaro 2SS/RS with a manual 6 speed.
Thay also have a 2007 ZO6...
I just like the way of the clutch lol... that is the way to go if you are actually racing in my opinion drag racing I enjoy the A4 in my car but if i want to measure my skill of racing lol i want a M6Quote:

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.
ehh a ls3 is a ls3..to my knowledge there are only 2 engines that are hand built. The ls9 and ls7.Quote:

I am a "quick shifter". Issue is that a 1/4 mile takes at least 3 gears and sometimes 4th in a manual (rear gear depending) and pretty much my shifting is done at about 2nd gear....a gasket ends up blowing. Sort of like Dale Jr in Nascar. He builds a hot rod but about 1/3 of the way in to the race he is pretty much done. Yeah, he can limp along for a while but whats the point? Just a continued dissapointment to his fans and hurts his future confidence.Quote:
