The 6th gen Camaro SS with its V8 combined with a 6MT is a very special Camaro, providing great handling, good muscle power with the driving involvement of rowing your own shifts. The A10 is a very fast transmission but doesn't provide the same driving enjoyment feeling. My first sport cars all of them had MT: Infiniti G35 coupe, Porsche 911 Carrera and a '11 Mustang GT 5.0 which I enjoyed driving on street and track, until my wife ask me to change to an AT sport car for her to also enjoy driving them, first I bought a 5th gen Camaro ZL1 and then a C7 Corvette Stingray Z51, both were great sport cars but the shifting your own emotion was missing. Then I tested a ME Porsche Cayman S with the well recognized DCT PDK, it shifted very fast and precise but the paddle shifting felt like I was playing with an Xbox game, not the same emotion of the MT. Until I went back to a 6MT 6th gen Camaro SS that I noticed what I was missing all this time.
