Yeah I've driven a pad shift C6 and a 2010 camaro tap shift and I wasn't impressed with either. There's nothin like a good ol' 5500rpm drop of the clutch then reaching for second

especially in one of these new LS / T56 based cars! It's enough to make anybody smile! It takes ALOT of power to make that kind of happieness with an autotragic lol

They probably had the stock trans tune which is really lame. Once I tuned the trans in my car it was like a different animal.

If I want to shift gears I hop on my on my custom harley low rider or my YZ250 motocrosser. That's a lot more fun that riding in a cage.

G8's are bad *** rides. I love mine...lots of power, lots of room, great handling. However I would like to have gotten a GXP with the LS3 and M6

Joe we all know you blow.

I do agree manuals are more fun to drive and I love my M6...but my G8 is so much more comfortable than my camaro and it gives a lot better ride.

Even with a paddle shifter or slap stick, there is nothing like banging gears with a clutch. Even better, beating autos in roll and 1/4 mile racing ( with and without a stall ) just my .02..
