What do you perfer?
I have owned autos and stick , Sticks are fun and so are autos. They both can be fast, As for durability I would say overall the same since when you get into higher power levels while the stick may not break the trans , Ussually theres a couple high dollar clutches in the year involved and the addition strain on the rest of the drive train.
But I personally get tire of shifting manuals since it seems I always end up living in and area with 25 mph speed limits and lotsa traffic lights.

I love my 6-speed and don't regret my choice.
However, It has become clear that a properly set-up automatic is the way to go. A th400 will be my next significant modification. (or maybe a powerglide if I can get her to go on a diet
)

) i love my stalled auto, but the only reason i would regret it is because of all the crap i get... "oh its not a manual? what, you cant drive or something?" that just pisses me off.

I solved this problem, one person at a time. Take them for a ride and show them what a auto with a big converter can do.

Auto guy's are crazy (maybe a little lazy..lol) I bought my first camaro with an auto and was a huge mistake could not wait to trade it in on a M6. Will NEVER, NEVER buy a auto car ever again. There is a reason why 90% of the cars over in Europe are manuals. They provide less loss of power, better fuel economy, way more fun imo, and I never had a problem spanking a stock auto with my stock M6 and if you all say "well if I throw a stall in" well let me spend equal amount and I win again. one and only draw back=consistency, But I know you auto guy's miss dumping the clutch!!
Then when we get back to the pits they'll have a million excuses with the "slipping clutch" being the most popular. I can cut 1.5x 60's, lift my front tires and go sideways from a low speed roll. And all this on a stock 10 bolt
I vote auto if you can't tell

I rowed the boat (drove manuals) for many years. I was tired of shifting, and especially the freaking clutch. I have no regrets for having an automatic, plus my right hand is free for other pursuits, such as assisting my lady passenger.
I have M6 in my LS2 carbed for road race and cruising weekend. Other Camaro w/auto (+201,miles) for heavy traffic and long lines in towns where Pegion Forge/ Smoky Mtn.Ntl Park or Atlanta.
I like both of M6 N Auto either.

A real man is defined by his actions, his integrity and his intelligence. And satisfying his woman doesn't hurt either
