GM's current paddle system should be in the new Maro, my Gay Uncle Maurice also believes this

What is better than a Maro with an A4? A Maro with an A6/Ferrari-esque paddle shifter system.

Let us have a looksee at the gloriousness of Ferrari's paddles and emulate them in the camaro and C6. I will be buying a M6, but I do believe this technology would appeal to a wide spectrum of the American crowd...and to the ubiquitous ricer smurfs that dot our bountiful land.

After considerable thought and a bottle of sangria,GM should just put an A4 out of a 1 ton truck in the new camaro. Maybe everyone with more than 250 rwhp could finally quit tearing up autos!!! While theyre at it, cut down the damn 1 ton truck rear axle and put that 14 bolt SOB in!!

if GM's paddle shifters shifted like some of the others out there, not that i like any of those european cars, then I'd have a hard time choosing between m6 and A6. but i dont think that the A6 will shift as fast as some of those other crazy *** ones.

i like the idea of shiftable autos... that being said, its a bad idea for the new camaro to have one because its from GM. It will be so low in quality that it will just be annoying. I wouldnt be suprised if the pedal shifters snapped off when u pressed them. Im 100% sure GM will do what they do in every in car they produce to the camaro: make it look amazing, slap a super amazing engine in it... then flake on everything else (crappy low quality plastic interior, glass trans and rearend... ) They have yet to make a car that is perfect (fbodys are the closest). If it has enough power, it doesnt have anything else... or vice versa. Its a really simple formula if u ask me... make a car that looks amazing (im sure there are a million graphic designers out there willing to take on the task), give it ***** under the hood, and dont flake and use plastic parts. ugh i should start my own car company.

You didn't have the option in the poll " Autos are Gay". But that's what I'll go with.
I can definately see GM doing paddle shifters in the upcoming Camaro. Cool idea, I have no idea how well their system works. Probably works like *** if I were to guess...

And let's keep slapping on the useless tech to see if we can get it out of people's pricerange.

Paddle shifting may be an option, but it likely will be similar to Corvette's.
Which in all reality, works just fine. Screw Ferrari.

. Id like the Camaro to have the A6 option too, and the M6 option I think i was a little 
. IMHO they are boring. Nothin like banging a stick through the gears
