Have driven manuals all my life and prefer them. Autos are great for drag racing though.

I have had plenty of both. I test drove the LS3, it was great fun. Then I drove the L99 with the paddle shifters...now this is a new fun! Ease and control with instant shifts, or cruise and forget it. It struck me as both of best worlds so I went for it.

I love the control of the manual, much more engaging to me. Besides, who knows how much longer these will be around. The dual clutch semiautomatics are the way of the future. Our kids will be like "wow, you used to drive a manual transmission?" :emoticon7:

I haven't got to order one yet, but it will be a manual. The control of the car is much better and much more fun.

I think it is hilarious that people are not commenting on the OP's reason for getting an
automatic.  Edit: Never mind it got censored. |

I learned on an auto, everything I've owned excluding motorcycles has been auto, and getting used to a manual in a $32000 car in a town as hilly as Austin didn't sound like a good idea.

we bought ours in an automatic because the wife couldnt push the clutch all the way in (almost, but not to the floor). and because she wasnt really interested in learning to drive a manual everyday. it sux cuz i really wanted the extra 26hp!

I got an automatic, for multiple reasons. I've only driven a stick a few times, Auto's are a little better in a drag (mind you I have an LT), I didn't want to be shifting all the time since all my driving is pretty much city, and I love using paddle shifters.

I like to shift and it gives me a good reason to not answer the phone.

This is the umpteenth post on the subject. It usually gets dumbed down really quick by some knuckle draggers and becomes one hell of a pissing match.
