+ 1 for Greg .... It's still no South Pole Elf, but it gets a point ;)
The only car that ever gave me any shifting problems was the 08 gt500 with it's shit-tastic gear grinding worthless tr6060. I would put my launching and powershifting skills in any of my previous stick cars against yours cupcake. I didn't buy an auto because I can't shift, I bought it because it's better. If you chose to row your own gears more power to ya. It's fun. However, my work destroyed knees didn't find sitting in traffic endlessly working a heavy clutch pedal all that great. The auto's of today aren't the auto's of yesterday. The zl1 with auto is faster 0-60 (3.9 vs 4.0) faster 1/4 mile (12.0 vs 12.1)and faster top speed (184 vs 180). numbers all per gm. So you can keep beating the auto sucks dead horse all you want, I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Now there's plenty you can bag on with the zl1, there's plenty I bag on, but no buyers remorse for me on the transmission.
EDIT: this is directed at Greg of course, not Bob. I like Bob, even though you gave a point back to greg

I'm glad to see that the fact that the race we had when both our cars sat the same time and were cool ended up with you on the losing end isn't bothering you. It is clear that your modified aftermarket heat exchanger with the intercooler pump wired hot to constant run does outperform the stock factory system on the camaro ( you could fist pound that with your friend, if you had one). don't think that's a shocker. So sadly heatsoaked i couldn't take advantage of the bottomed out da at the end of the night like you did, but that's how it goes. I won a battle, but lost the war. I gave you props, but when next we meet I won't be stock so better get saving up for the whipple. I don't want to buzzkill the shit talking that makes this thread great so...
I'm betting your just pissy cause the popo was all harrassing you and shit while you were cruising around in the stang
