When I take my car out into the mountains on a twisty road there is no substitute in my opinion for the absolute fun of driving a manual. I'm sure this 10 speed is a fantastic transmission and will certainly be quicker in just about every respect, but again, I want to drive my car, and a big part of that experience is shifting. To each his own. I'm glad Chevy gives folks the option and I'm especially thankful that we haven't become like the European manufacturers who are more and more going exclusively Auto. Porsche seems to have listened to fans with their new 911R manual only car!

The question I've been wondering is what are the racers using for transmissions these days?
