I DD my M6, and so far I love it! I'm coming from an auto, and I woudn't go back.

6 speed is the way to go my friend....I would never go back, infact i might never actually buy an auto car again(even with daily Stop n go)

6 spd all the way for a Street/strip car. You will always be in the right gear.

Mystic 98 TA:

I know the feeling of almost going through the windshield in my Auto C4 when I switch cars from my MN6 C6. It scares the **** out of my GF every time I do it

i drive my M6 all day everyday...occasionally ill drive my Volvo A4 s40...but it feels like a toy compared to the SS...

Also, everyone that complains about M6 in traffic...in Auto you still have to ride the break and accell...then brake..accell...brake.ect.ect....

I DD my M6 SS except in bad weather. I have a truck that I drive in the rain and snow but it has a M5. Auto is no fun.

I spend 2 hours a day in my car, and more than half of that is in traffic. Usually I love driving the M6, but occassionally after work when I'm tired and just want to get home it seems like a pain in the ***.
Once I get this one paid off, I'll find a different DD though. It kills me to leave the camaro sitting outside all day.

Nothing boring about a 6speed, espcially on those days you just wanna cruise.

Go for the the six. I bought one without knowing how to drive stick at all. It was annoying for the first week or so in traffic and at lights that stopped going uphill, but since then i've loved everyday of it. Can't ever go back to an auto now. No fun

Drove an auto T/A for a year .. loved it .. then I flipped her. Bought an m6 (first stick shift EVER) drove it 100 miles the day I bought it (having never driven a stick before). Its been almost a year now and while I'm not the best driver I really really love roll racing people. I still have touble launching without creating a smoke storm though ... And I think i might need a new clutch soon.. Stop and go traffic can be annoying but I love the looks I get cause the car is so damn loud!

Oh yeah and everyone knows the real reason to own a m6 is so you can rev at everybody

Daily drive my cammed 6-speed w/4.10 gears. Stop and go traffic gets annoying after awhile. But it's not too bad unless you are in it for more than like 30 minutes, then it starts to get annoying. I wouldn't trade it for anything though. I never like my auto camaro, it was boring.

ya i just got my 1st manual after my auto truck last november. only time i missed the automatic is when... wait i didnt. not even in the snow which i hate to say my car ever saw.

1 thing that sucks about manual is u cant eat/text while u drive, but neither of those should b happening in ur car. i tune out nething outside and just enjoy the ride. my speakers rarely get used
