If I get one it'll have a manual for sure. Even if God forbid I lost part of my leg in combat I'd still find a way to drive a stick. I love it that much. Nothing like running through those turns and shifting.
Thanks Kerry. I like all the 2nd gens, but the early (70-73) ones are by far my favorite Camaros.

Gregg, I think you'll be passing me soon!:p
Same here. If I were looking for a Camaro, that would probably be my first choice. I love the round taillights, the unique front ends. The 1st gens as nice as they are have been done to death.

Gregg, that is exactly what I try to explain to people who don't understand why I would drive a Camaro in the snow (I've driven every generation in the snow except for the 1st gens and the new ones). It really is driver skill. Not only that, but knowing your car. If you know exactly how your car will react when it loses traction, you will be able to react and correct it without even thinking about it. I drive better with my RWD vehicles than most do with 4x4. Only time I would EVER need 4x4 is to get to certain fishing holes. I'll probably get a little S-10 for that purpose since I haven't been able to make my good fishing holes lately cause mother nature gets it all crappy to get to. Other than that, my Burb will be the one seeing snow and I'll take my Camaro in it before I take a FWD.

Kerry, it looks totally awesome. let me see if I can find a video for it.
Gregg, keep in mind I typically use manual transmissions. That gives you a level of control that you just don't get from an automatic.
Mike, I completely agree with you on the manual trans thing. I'm fine with my truck not having a stick (actually the column shift for the auto tranny keeps it out of the way of my planned console) but yeah any camaro I've ever had (and I've had several) have all been manuals.
