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.

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

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

I agree with the automatic with the manual valve body.

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.

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.
