I'm leaning towards a 6spd for the fun factor....I had an absolute blast driving one....and do a lot of HWY driving as well...

and just a thought, has anyone bought a 5th gen without the Console gauges and added them???? found an Aqua Blue one I really like in the price range but it doesn't have the console gauges is why I ask..
Man, that is such an AWESOME color (my favorite) on those cars. I would rock the hell out of it.

Great cars, very comfortable commuter daily cars too. If you are looking for a cyber gray 2SS/RS, I'll be listing mine for sale in a week. We bought an '11 SS convertible to replace it.

Mine has a Magnacharger, suspension mods, full exhaust, 535 rwhp, aftermarket wheels/tires, 12K miles on it. Manual trans. Wheels/tires have 200 miles on them. 275 front tires, 315 rear tires. $40K as it sits. $38K with OEM wheels/tires (polished).

I wouldn't get a manual trans if the design is like the G8 GXP's. Just for the simple fact that GM will use the "its a wearable part" excuse to not do anything to fix a clutch issue.
