AT in Fast Cars..Is It That Bad..?
I've never driven a manual transmission in my life, then again i'm only 23 and owned only 3 cars. My next car, will most likely be a 96 Z28, 5.7 of coarse, but i was concerned of one thing-the transmission.
Today, i went to check out this hot red one, it was a beauty-then i saw the auto trans, and i was immediatly discouraged. I'm in no way gonna buy one now-maybe mid 05. At first, i was going to finance either a 05 srt4 or a evo-but i love V8's. Nothing like that raw torque. Will an AT in a camaro slow it up really that much?
I remember 3 months ago, me and a friend went corvette *window* shopping, and we where talking to this really cool sales guy while we where checking a mint 96 grand sport vette-the blue ones, yum. Anyway, he said that the AT's where faster than manuals-something with the way they're calibrated (i think thats the term he said), is that true.. If so, how would a 96 camaro compare in MT vs. AT comparison..?
AT's are so much easier (i would imagine) to drive rather than MT's.
