LSD wins the pot for me. You pay a premium for the auto yet it does not come with the better diff. Also NLS is a blast to shift through!
Again, its up to you! Drive both and then pull the trigger

Not sure if the LTs get the rev-match feature with their manuals or not, but that's one of the main reasons I went with the M6 in my Camaro.

I4T's don't have the rev-match feature.

I've been bouncing back & forth between whether I should've got the auto vs my manual, but lately I've finally got the feel for how the M6 wants to be shifted for what I consider optimum power & fuel efficiency:

- 1st gear: 0-15mph
- 2nd gear: 16-30 mph
- 3rd gear: 31-45 mph
- 4th gear: 46-60 mph
- 5th gear: 61-75 mph (stay in 5th for most highway driving in town)
- 6th gear: 76 & up (truly a cruising gear for road trips, less city use)

I've been getting 28.4 mpg the past couple weeks and don't have to feel like I'm constantly shifting when I keep the rpm's near 3000. Prior to this, I use to baby the rpm's and keep them near 2200-2500, hated the laggy feeling combined with constant shifting; that style gave me 27 mpg.
