I know the topic of manuals vs. automatics is always brought up but there are many things i still dont understand. I'm only 17 and have never driven a manual car before, but i think i know some about driving one. Everyday I think about what I want on my camaro when i get it. One thing i cant decide is manual or automatic. What my question is, are manuals faster than an automatic. If they are faster, why? Right now my mind is set that if they offer paddle shifting I'll have to go with that. Anyway it would be awesome if you guys could help me out with my question. Thanks
