My past 4 cars have been manuals. 92 Camaro, 02 WS6, 06 GTO and 12 135i. I got the A10 because I wanted to and I have no regrets in my decision.
It's fun to row the gears. But GM did an awesome job on the A10 and how it keeps in the correct RPMs. |

My girlfriend is the only person that I let drive, the "race car". She is rusty in changing gears, but actually does pretty good.
See, the ZL1 puts a smile on anyone's face....

I went the other way recently. Had 4 GM cars all with the M6. Loved them all. This A10 equipped ZL1 is just to easy to drive, and is super responsive. I dont have any friends who would ask to drive my cars. Nor would I ever ask to drive theirs.
Seriously if something ever happened to your car when your buddy was driving.....it might be ugly.

All my Camaros that I have owned over the years have been manuals. My ZL1 is the sixth Camaro and it is a manual too and no I wouldn’t let anybody drive it. The A10 is supposed to be faster but I wanted to shift for myself and not the computer so I would have total control when I’m driving it. And I think it’s more cool to have a manual than an automatic anyway. I’m not bashing automatics either but think a 6 speed is the way to go for me!! And with all the talk going around manual transmissions will be replaced by a form of automatic one day so I will drive and own one as long as they are built.

I let my buddy drive mine because he was looking (seriously) at purchasing one. Ended up just getting a new M3... :(
The wife can drive it whenever she wants to. (Which is almost never) |
