Auto Or Manual....

[whoisdabomb86]

nothing pisses me off more than people coming up to me and going "too bads its an automatic," and me blowin their doors off while there pushin that clutch and shifting up i mean what the hell??...i firmly beleive an auto can out shift and out race the coveted standard tranny ANY DAY OF THE WEEK but thats just me, what do u guys think? AUTO OR MANUAL????

we kindof just went through all of this. im opinion: manual for road racing, auto for straight line.

i feel your pain though. one time i had a chick tell me that only girls drive automatics. once i was sure that my balls were throughly detached from my body, i went home to eat m&ms and watch friends...

well manuals do take more skill.....(refering to how only girls drive autos)

They are different. I would have chosen a manual myself. But I bought my 2nd gen with an auto. I took what I had and made the best out of it. Now with my car I am glad I have an automatic. My car shifts so hard into 2nd gear that it makes even those manual guys jealous. I am sure that it would be hard to get a manual to keep up with my automatic. Straight line of course! You just have to work those automatics over a bit from factory.

I love my m6, it's the most fun I have ever had, with a car that is. So I vote m6 for fun and mpg, I get 27 mpg with mine.

arrrggg not this again, lets just leave it to this its everyones personal opinon, there are no right or wrong, ive seen people who can shift so well you would think that they were driving an auto, then i have seen people who cant drive a manual worth crap you'd think it takes 20 seconds between gears. Its all about whos better at what.

my opinion on this is in the other thread...

I just sold my 6 speed. put a 2800-3200 stall converter on a auto and the doors will be blown on their cars!

You just have to drive both and see what you like. Plain and simple!

Dont get me wrong. I loved my 6 speed too. Drop it down a gear or so, everyone looks! You will win more races with a auto and 3200 stall.

i don't like autos because its just too easy....not much skill involved , hit the gas and go....when i win a race i like to have the satisfaction of me being a big part of winning along with my engine....but its all a matter of what you like to drive.... they both have their pros and cons

[CORE402]

Well like I said they are both cool. I like my auto cause I built it up, I DID. Everything that I am able to do I have done myself. Plus I want my car to be a straight line car so auto is very consistant and fast. I would love to buy a stick someday. If I were to purchase a new Camaro there is only one option and that is the 6 speed!

manual auto it is all good.
My car wasnt made with a manual at all in 83. I believe both take skill. Someone who is used to an automatic cant just get into a car with a manual and be as skilled as hew was with the auto. and vise versa.
All this talk about girls driving automatics. The that to the top fuel dragster drivers. Most people wish they could go that fast. I would love to see people shift while doing the 1/4 in like 4 seconds.
From my experience in driving autos and manuals I can do all most the same things with both.
I have better things to do with my time than to knock another camaro driver because he doesnt prefer the same as me.
Everyone get over it and continue to kick ass in your camaros. Manual or auto.
