I ordered my car with a six speed. I'm not sure how rare they are, but in comparison to automatics they're a pretty small percentage.

It reminds me of the C3, collectors will pay through the nose for a 4 speed manual.
I see autos alot if it's not an enthusiast, but most of the guys like us that I have seen around have 6 speeds. It's a really biased split. I have both though.

My '94 Formula came with a 6 speed. Seemed fairly rare at the time.

Mine was 6-speed from the factory, pretty much fully loaded. I would venture and say that LT1 6-speeds are fairly rare. You see way more autos around...Took me 3 months to find my 6-speed LT1

Mine's a 6 speed...and fairly rare IMO.
I've never seen another '97 like mine...just a Z28, not an SS, yet it has 30th anniversary gray cloth seats from the factory (have the 30th logo on both front seats and center of back seat). I'm not sure if all 97 Z28's came with these seats or not.

Slower than an auto if you can't drive.

Mine is a 97 SS 6 speed. My aunt and uncle owned a 95 TA 6 speed....hydroplaned and totaled it. I bought what was left. That was about 8 years ago. Still have the t56.
