btw, them japonicans did not make this car for the typical japanese dood. 5'6 you might be too short due to big side mirrors...they are like blinds. you should take one out for a test drive to make sure you can see especially out the driver side window while making a left hand turn.

I bought the car just because it had engine noise. I rather hear that than music. I just love the sound. I have manual so I dont know how the AT feels like.

I almost got the Camaro SS as well. What killed it for me was the V6 Camaro and that it wasn't a ton slower than the V8 and had much better fuel economy. It just wasn't worth the $6k to up upgrade to the V8 anymore. So what did I do? I blew the budget and spent the same as a Camaro SS and got the Z. lol

The Camaro is a great car. The Z is great too. I have the auto and I don't feel like I lost anything. I've been driving manual cars for the past 18 years and several of them sports cars. If you plan to track the car at all get the 6MT but otherwise it's just personal preference.
