CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 6 speed Manual or 8 speed auto; what will you choose?

I would not hesitate to buy one of today's automatics, especially the 8L90. While my ZL1 is a manual, I would have bought it just as quickly if it had the auto.

While I love to row the gears, I absolutely hate it when I am in traffic. I would be happy with either transmission but if there were two cars side by side, identical in every way and one had the new 8 speed and the other the 7 speed manual, I would not hesitate a millisecond to buy the automatic.

It IS that good of a transmission.
