Let's look at when the Camaro will be coming out. Sometime between fall '07 as an '08 or fall '08 as an '09. Whatever. The thing is is that with the desire of the administration and Congress to raise the CAFE rating on automobiles, it would be my best guess that the six speed auto will be standard reguardless of engine options. The transmission speeds will be a real factor in all cars for the next several years. That is why Audi has developed the variable speed transmission, and Lexus now has an eight speed in their LS series cars. Chevrolet has already changed the shift points on some of their cars to more real world driving habits. My point! Don't be surprised if we don't see either seven speed manual / automatic trannys in the near future, or we will pay a price for high HP V8's.
