Personally, I can't live with an auto at this point in time. Both my daily WRX and my Camaro are manuals and I have a blast if I am in bumper to bumper traffic or if I am honing down a back road.

I could give a crap what the fastest car around a track is or what car is faster to 60. What I care about is the experience and character a car has when you get behind the wheel. And for me that experience is not complete unless I can hit that third pedal to the ground and row my own gears. #SaveTheManuals

My next DD will be a manual more than likely. I do miss it.

Right now I am happy with my two cars. In the future I will have a V8, either a camaro or a corvette but that's way down the road. I am nearly done with all the mods I have planned for my camaro and its finally going to be the exact car I want. Just need to buy the last few pieces to finish my ZL1 brake swap, buy the ZL1 sides, get my NLP spoiler pained and buy a tunnel brace since I couldn't install the factory one with my bigger H-Pipe.

What's up everyone. Anthony here, about to turn 31, bought my 2nd camaro in November 2015. Haven't had too many pics yet, enjoyed the summer setup for about a month before snow wheels/tires went on








My previous was a 2010 RS (#608 off the line). Owned it for only a year due to work troubles w/the recession :(

doesnt Pfadt offer different lowering springs though? Like 1" or 1.25" 1.5"?

no, at the time it was just 1.25". When Pfadt got out of the business, Apex took over producing some of their items, such as the springs. I have not had any issues with them and have really enjoyed them since installing them about 5 months after getting the car.

Now the Pfadt coilovers are a different story.

it's awesome when driving on the weekend or evening, but as a DD and in heavy traffic, sorry the auto is much more convenient and easier to drive. Depends on when and were you drive.
