I would really like to know if the paddle shifters were used while in the automatic. If the car is faster in drive mode without the need for paddle shifters, why add the paddle shifters to begin with? I have my own answer to that question. The 5th gen Camaro goes into a 4-cylinder mode whilst in drive to save gas. When you put the car in manual mode and activate the paddle shifters, it is V8 all the way. Shifting while turning is a different story.

Test drove both the Auto and the Standard Camaro SS. The standard is a smooth shifting transmission but the clutch is a bit weighted towards the top of the movement. The Auto-8 is superb in this car, it is very quick shifting and is perfectly matched to the power curve of the motor. I went with the Auto-8 as the manual gives no advantage over the Auto...is in fact inferior to the Auto in everything but price.

no excuses here. people put manuals transmissions up against automatics in the worst way possible. it takes more than 1 or 2 passes hell even ten pass down the track to achieve better times in a manual transmission. that and people not knowing the cars power band along with that to go with crap launches kill 1/4 mile times. the manual should be quicker of the line if the driver could launch at a high rpm. however with the amount of power in todays cars it makes it hard to and traction becomes an issue. dump the clutch, pull of a good 60 ft and get a set of slicks and the manual should be just as quick as the auto. and fyi there are cars that get better 0-60 and 1/4 mile times wth the manual trans so the car is also a factor.

When you get into the power that the SS makes, the automatics have a real advantage. I'm really surprised that the auto didn't have more of a lead, but it seemed that it always got that lead off the line, then they were dead even. Much more effecient at putting the power down from a stop. I bet in a road course, or if they were accelerating from a roll, the manual would be equal if not have the advantage. Still though, the manual is more fun, and well, put some sticky tires on the back of there and I think the advantage would go the other way.

Rattlesnakedady true manuals are more engaging but modern autos with a "manual mode" gives you the same amount of control vs a manual. Fastest lap times with cars come from dual clutch auto trans equipped cars.

Whats sad is this the old 8 speed automatic. Imagine they had a rematch in the 2019 Camaro that has the 10 speed.

Utter slaughter and devastation if this was the 2019 or 2020 Camaro SS with the 10 speed automatic versus the 6 speed manual. How is a 12.9 second for the 6 speed SS( weight 3,685 pounds) any different from the 2020 Camaro V6 with the 10 speed automatic( weight 3,354 pounds)?

Sucks for the person that bought those ragged out SS's! I would be pissed if I found out my car got ragged like this?

Wow these sixth gens are impressive. My cammed 5g has about 100 more (crank) horsepower than these and I'm still in the 12's.

I like manual better because it gives more control plus the newer cvt transmissions are known to have reliability issues and if it goes out and isn't in warranty you're out of a lot of money. Honestly I would think manual would be required for most drag races since allowing automatics takes a lot of the skill out of racing.

Most drag racers with sub 10 sec cars use an auto of some sort. Manual is more for road course tack.

CVT??? No american sportscar has a CVT....I've Only seen Honda and Mazda use them. Only thing american that uses them are Off-road Quads...things with NO Torque.
