I've been driving automatics exclusively for 18 years now. Been trying out cars to settle on my next one.
So far Mustang GT and EcoBoost, Camaro all engines and today Mercedes AMG GLA 45 (Turbo 4) . All are 4 second 0-60 and I believe 12 second 1/4 milers.
All good, however the Camaros are the top of the heap. The SS is probably the best car I've ever driven - it's magic.
TO get to teh point when I was driving the AMG today I missed shifting. I think it's a manual tranny again for me, although the Autos today are superior in terms of speed and economy.
Manuals I think are just more fun. If you can afford 2 cars, get one of each
But damn the ZL1 is a fantastic car!!!! Way to go GM
