The only cars I'll even consider buying when I shop for a new car are those available with a stick. Thank God for Camaro!

BTW - the 8 speed is only .2 sec faster than the 6MT
Ironically, Car and Driver said they thought the auto was "spectacular" while acknowledging that they're the #savethemanuals originators! If GM has the issues worked out with it (ahem, go read corvetteforum.com) then great. It'll be faster and get better mileage. For me? I'm 50 and still only driving manuals . The driving experience is just so much more engaging and entertaining shifting yourself IMHO. I won't give that up until I have to.
