It's all about personal preference. If you know how to drive a stick, then get one. However, you might wanna beef up the drive line a little (clutch, rear end ect...)

If you don't know how to drive one, I wouldn't start with an SS. Get the automatic, and haul @$$.

Either way, I think you'll be happy.

I love my 6-speed all of the 6 cars I've owned (I'm only 20), have been manual trannies.

It's just boring to drive an auto. With the manual it makes the driving so much funner. I don't care if it's not as fast (if that's true).

When you're stopped on an uphill, then you get the roll-back as you start to move, you know it gets everyone's attention. When the honeys see it they're thinking "wow, look at that sweet car with all that power, and the guy knows how to shift his own gears too? I'm all over him!" Or at least that's what I like to think .
