O yea auto adds another like 1.5k or something like that. I really need to learn how to drive a manual when the 6th gen comes out.

I thought about getting a manual but thought it wouldn't be wise to learn on a Camaro at the time. Last thing I wanted was to break something and have my dad be pissed.

Not difficult just takes some getting used to. I learned on my Dads 97 BMW 318i and the clutch was a little worn out so the friction point was a little high. Needles to say after a year I got used to that but when it came time to drive the Camaro let's just say I almost ate the steering wheel first time around from how quick the clutch grabbed. I got used to it in about five minuets though.

Now I have jumped from a LS3 to my cruze then to my Camaro and finally a old Audi all manuals and don't stall. To me now its like riding a bike you don't think about it.

Also not gonna lie, don't think I would have the coordination to let off the gas hit the clutch and change gear lmfao I would prob do all 3 at the same exact time

That's understandable lol. It's actuallly really easy to learn on.. Should be for you too since you already are aware of the power lol.

First let me just say you guys are responding way to quickly for me the keep up on my iPhone

Now back to topic. Since my dad ordered and paid for my Camaro he was a little skeptical about going with the manual. He knew I had it down but he wasn't sure if I was going to want to be driving around like for the rest of the cars life. Needles to say he decided to go with what I wanted and I'm glad he did because honestly I get bored with automatics.
