I would be all over the place with that much power in a manual tranny

I've always been pretty good at getting out of the hole.... 1-2 very quick, its the 2-3 that's a little slow sometimes. I get bored driving an auto though on the roads.... I sometimes find myself pushing my left leg to the floor when a light goes green..... then its not there

I used to love manuals, and I still enjoy them, but I have so much fun with my A6. I don't have to worry about clutches failing left and right, dealing with it in traffic or missing a gear when you need to shift on point. I beat a fellow Camaro by a few lengths due to him missing a shift and he had around a 60HP/80TQ advantage.

I was driving one of our Dodge 5500HD's the other day.... I got in the camaro and kept reaching for the exhaust brake

There are times I find myself with my hand on the shifter trying to slap it through the gears when I accelerate real hard. My fiance' laughs her ass off at me when I do it. Half the time I don't realize I'm doing it until she calls attention to it.

I can see that. Its a love/hate relationship for sure. On the strip the auto's are hard to beat for sure. I do enjoy the LS3 around here on these winding roads though! Need to talk the wifey into trading "BU" in on an L99 SS......Best of both worlds

Nothing beats shifting through the gears for me.. when i get on the highway the on ramp is like catapult on an aircraft carrier to me... when im listening to music and the good part comes up.. here comes the downshift for speeeed man i love it..

Thats funny until you are bringing home Chinese take-out and you slam the brake
