Ours was an automatic, and I believe a four-speed, at that. So that six speed manual should be a lot smoother at highway speeds!
I'm with you - sixteen years of automotive refinement should mean a more sophisticated ride!
Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to get the manual. The Firebird was the wife's car and had to be auto. This one's gonna be all mine!
Just don't tell her I said that! [sm=smiley2.gif]
