Automatic or Maunal??

[fishnredneck]

I have been looking at some cars and I cant decide weather or not to get a stick or an automatic transmission. I want a stick but they are hard to find for a good deal. I see so many automatics out there for a good deal? Which do you guys think is better?

What year are you talkin about?
Do a search.. I think we just had a big argument about this recently... In MY opinion, manuals are always more fun, automatics are faster.. If you want a manual, ide wait until you found one..

Auto = Stick... same speed. It's your personal preferance. If you like to play within powerbands and choose...then stick, but if you like to raw dog and floor it, then auto. Either are cool, but IMO i'd rather have a stick. I like to play...

Yeah the LS1's from 98+ are a better engine than the LT1..
I like ta row my own gears as well, I like stick better than auto.. Cept when im eatin' a hotdog and talkin on the phone..

Wait until ya find exactly what you want.. you'l thank yourself when it comes

trust me, you wont regret stick... unless you untterly hate the idea of being busy while driving, less talking on the phone, eating, smoking, playing with the radio, whatever. If you just like to sit back and know you don't want to worry aboutit, then dont. But I suggest you get one.

yea a LS1 is better, but your insurance is gonna give a huge premium unless your over 21, trust me i found out, but the stick auto is preferance u will have fun in either of em

[Invictus]

go with a stick, im sure either wont make a differnce with as much low and torque the ls1 has but my work truck is a 98 nissan fronteir with the 2.4 4 banger and i can tell you that if i dident have a 5 speed i wouldent be able to get out infront of traffic... so the less torque you got the more you need a stick.....but with that ls1 its all up to your preference. personally i would go with the stick, gives you more control.

yea get a stick... ive gotten bored with my auto, im lookin into a t56, i think it would just be funner to run with a stick, i dont care as much about winning, or being the most consistent, well i do but id rather have more fun ya kno

[Joseph1082]

But then it is a true feat when you become consistant driving a stick.

[ridge_runner]

yea, that will be something to work on

I just got a 1998 z28 with the six speed manual. It is so much fun. The only modification so far is a K&N air filter. I even tend to get good gas milage. About 26 on the hwy and 18 in town. If I can keep my foot out of it. I am 23 and the insurance is out of this world. $220.00 a month, it would have been the same auto or stick. I agree with everyone else go with the 6sp manual it is so much more fun.
