Def put up some nice pics. Any specific color you're looking at? I was looking at Camaros before I got my car.
I am torn between Cyber Gray Metallic (basically gun-metal gray) and Silver Ice Metallic (obviously silver).
I like both, but definitely like the darker gray better. BUT, and this is a big but, I am afraid of keeping the gray clean and how bad it will show scratches. I have two black cars currently and hate it with a passion. Scratches show up so easily and the black seems hazy the day after it is washed.
I assume the gray is easier than black, but still....
My tough decisions:
-Gray or Silver?
-Auto or Manual?
ARGHHH!!
Automatic. Just as fun as manual without the hassle. Don't let the manual tards fool you, they just have a sense of unwarranted self-importance because they drive manual and think they are better than everyone else.
Plus the 800 trim choices. Have fun! lol.

Thanks for the reply.
I actually drive in Atlanta traffic for my commute 5 days a week.
In the morning I usually leave early enough to beat the traffic so I get to go anywhere from 55-75 mph with some slowdown in places. In the afternoon it is usually stop-and-go most 20-25 out of the 30 miles.
Makes for a much more enjoyable experience with the car.. I don't know what the big deal is.. clutch/shift is just part of loving to drive.

it's night and day, but I would only go manual if I've got some power. Which a camaro has.
Or perhaps it is a genuinely more engaging driving experience.

Epic Fail on this comment. We aren't talking about the smugness of hybrid owners here. There are logic and fun reasons to drive a stick...but automatics have their place. My daily driver is a 2007 Buick Lacrosse (auto)...I also have a 91 Camaro, 350 and stick...which is a fun car.
For driving experience, better mileage, etc. a stick fits the bill.
However, since I commuted for a number of years in stop and go traffic, a stick got old with that. It depends on your driving style and desire.
Perhaps that's your personal opinion, I personally find manuals to be too much extra work.
Again, that's YOUR opinion, if you are going to be driving in any kind of traffic, manual is NO fun.
Automatic transmissions have gotten just as good as manual transmissions for most cars in the past few years, with equal and in some cases better fuel economy when compared to a manual.
Driving experience is another BS claim, it's your opinion. Sure, some people find driving a stick more "fun" while others will claim it's just a chore.

Are you a sad panda because you can't drive one?

You shift automatically, it just happens on its own anyway. The difference is that with a stick shift it's your brain automatically shifting, not a computer with less balls than your cell phone that has no idea what you plan on doing.
I'm using a rental car right now, which means I took every single corner in 4th gear until I decided I'll never use the automatic mode and only use the awful select-a-gear thingy that these horrible automatics have. CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP "Oh cool, I took that corner in 4th. I hope this car dies in a fire."
You can keep the clutch at its friction point and give it a little gas instead of just holding the brake down, which makes it easier.
I am actually getting the V6. Will not be quite as forgiving (3.6L 304HP vs 6.2L 426HP). I am actually probably most nervous about tight parking. Seems like you would have to burn the clutch a lot to control speed. Also, same with reverse. You obviously don't want to stall, so you need the clutch I assume to control the speed.Don't worry about uphill starts with a big v8. Manual v8s are incredibly easy to learn to drive and very forgiving. You don't even have to work the gas to get started uphill, especially in the 350 with a close ratio 6 speed. It may take you a while to learn how to launch fast (as opposed to burning the tires to the rims in 1st and 2nd gear) so you'll need to be careful making left turns in front of traffic until driving the car becomes second nature. Powershifting habits from driving high strung 4-bangers are a big problem for keeping things under control, but luckily you don't have that.
