When looking for a Corvette, number one on the list was the six speed. To Dale and I, half the fun is the horsepower and the other half of the fun is the stick shift. What the car was secondary. I'd really like to have another '69 Chevelle but with the LS power and six speed. That would be awesome.
Both of my C4s are automatics. I'm glad that my fairly nice '87 is automatic... but I'd have preferred that my scruffy '85 project car had been manual gearbox.

the shark is a th350 but given a choice, i would prefer a 4 spd. my preference for any street driven muscle/hot rod would always be a manual. different story though on the dragstrip - gimme an automatic, unless of course i had the dough for a lenco.
Always a manual. Both the year round daily driver and the vette are manuals. And what makes it even nicer is that my wife does not like automatics. She says with an automatic there is nothing to do while she's driving.
