i can find lots of autos but no 5speeds so do i get an auto? or not???

one thing is auto is easier but 5spd is cool and more fun!

 

Auto's suck... I regretted buying an auto almost immediately... especially after it cost $1200 to fix. Unfortunatly you can't get a 350 with a 5 speed... some bs about emissions.

For the fun alone I would buy a 5 speed. You can also get away with a smaller gear in a 5 speed.

the t-5 5-speed that comes in a camaro or firebird is not as strong as the 700r4 automatic, but sleeper is right, you'll regret an auto and have much more fun with the stick.

 

but i wanted a 5.7...
