I hear the automatic is pretty good in them. Can’t fault her for it, it’s a solid choice.

She’s smarter than I am. As much as I love my 1LE on the track I don’t think I’ll ever have another manual on a DD ever again.

Her reasoning was age. I think she’s late 50's or maybe 60. I get it. But we really don’t have horrendous traffic here visavis LA or any large metro.

Counter-counterpoint: Yes it is... and I’ve driven that exact stretch of road in a car with a manual transmission.

HOWEVER, I drive a relatively low-powered car. If it was something like a Dodge Viper or Corvette, I could see that not being fun due to a taller first gear and a heavier clutch.

Correction: Then she might as well get a Porsche 911 with the PDK thing.

GM has given the Camaro better handling/ride thanks to its better suspension components that even Ferrari asked to use them.

GM never said they had insane automatic transmissions they were working on. :P (The Z/28 that destroyed the 911 GT3 & GTR on a track was manual)

Favorite space ghost moment of all time:

Conan O’Brien: Face it space ghost, your 60's show wasn’t great, it didn’t really get you anything

Space Ghost: (crosses arms and looks miffed) Well....it got me a Camaro!

But wy? It’s so much performance for the money.

Well. I already have a RWD sports car from the General and it’s already provided enough expensive shenanigans to ward me off for a while. On top of that I think the interior visibility is too limiting and the exterior styling is ugly. Also it’s not that much performance for the money when the V8 is basically 40k out the door.
