Depends on what im doing with the car.... most likely manual but when i bought my car i was so sick of driving my 02 stang gt (5 speed) vortec supercharged around up and down 130 in traffic coming from work it sucked....

I think it also pertains to where you live and drive is what kind of tranny you want. If you live in a mountainous area, tho it is fun to cruise around in a manual down the streets, when you come to a stop sign and your on an incline and you just happen to have someone about 4 inches from your bumper, yeah it sucks. My uncle lives in the black hills in South Dakota, and in their junkyards, theres alot more manuals cause people dont wanna drive them, they're too much of a pain. same thing goes for living in the city, all that stop and go, especially in traffic. But for the most part, in areas aof flatness, and rural, less traffic-like area's, like where I live, a manual is doable, and not a burden. Oh and as for the Chevelle, M-22 all the way.

68camaroguy 03-19-2008 07:51 PM

Pampered-Z 03-20-2008 09:20 AM

my Camaro is a 5-speed, and my old man used to have a 74 C10 with a pretty stout 350 and a muncie 4-speed

SteveR 03-20-2008 02:20 PM

manual all the way.

slugger27nj 03-20-2008 02:36 PM

Manual here, too. I'd probably still have my 98 TA if it had a 6spd.

V 03-20-2008 02:41 PM

Maunual FTW, burning rubber at 55mph is fun, yet scary sometimes.....

79T/A 03-20-2008 02:46 PM

Manual.

87Fbird 03-20-2008 05:14 PM

I agree with the automatic with the manual valve body.

Featherburner 03-20-2008 05:26 PM

Well, having driven both a 70 LS6 Chevelle with a M22 and, a 70 LS6 Chevelle with a TH400 that's a tough call. If I had to choose, I would pick the manual strictly for resale value but, the auto was more fun.

BigAls87Z28 03-20-2008 06:04 PM

Auto...Im lazy.
I could get used to a DSG/SMG Automatice manual real fast.

Bangin Bob 03-20-2008 06:20 PM

Manual all the way. It's faster too. Uless the rules makers hang weight on you for using one like our class does. Nothing like pulling three gears hangin the hoops.

chemicalstylez 03-20-2008 07:23 PM

Manual was cool back in high school, now I'll take the auto.
