Auto vs manual prod. #s
I know this will be pure speculation, but with GM trying to have the camaro go more mainstream do you think there will be a lot more autos than manuals?
In 2002 the numbers were
Automatics - 29,034 - 69.5%
6-speeds - 10,188 - 24.4%
5-speeds - 2,555 - 6.1%

I'm just wondering for those of us who won't be able to order it how easy/hard will it be to find a manual on the dealer lot?

I Just hope they don't charge extra for the M6 trannies on the V8 models when we do find one.
Manuals making a come-back would be nice though. It's nice to have control over those ponies under the hood.

Unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breathe.... It will probably be like it was on the GTOs, but at least with the GTOs you didn't get hit with the gas guzzler tax which compensated for the difference, so I guess we will just have to see.

I think the numbers are a little skewed with those figures. I know you got them from this site:

...but go into more detail.
I know the percentage numbers with the v6/v8 are a little messed up but you get the point. There were a good amount of v6s sold, and the vast majority of those (16972 total/2,555 with manual tranny) were sold with an auto behind that.
Do some math:
16972-2555=14417 autos contributed to v6s
29034 autos total-14417 autos behind v6=14617 autos behind v8s
Considering there were 24805 v8 camaros made that year the percentage of performance models with a manual behind them is a lot better then the figures show at first.
10188/24805=0.410
41% of the v8s came with a manual transmission. That's a big percentage, and not one to ignore.
