^^ Don't forget the M6/M12 gets better MPG! 
My A4 LS1 got 20MPG freeway if I was lucky. My M12 LS6 gets 30+MPG freeway on average.
I get 20MPG on the streets with my M12.
Honestly, autos can be nice... But I'll trade my 6-speed for an auto the day I physically cannot drive a manual. It's just TOO much fun to drive a 6-speed.
I drove my mom's M35 the other day with a 5-speed auto, and even when I manually shifted it I was still bored.

Wrong! My a4 used to get me 27-28mpg all day long. Cruise control for 4hours. Even now with 600hp I got 23.7mpg. How you like them apples?

Thnx for turning a thread of peaceful opinions into a battle you tards. Really, who gives a FFFFFk what trans your vette has! If you are happy who cares. OP, get what you want, test drive the goddamn cars first. Both trannies have there pros and cons but you know what? Theyre both fun and exciting to drive and its still a vette. Lets keep this as a TECH subject and not into stupidities as to calling auto owners mentally challenged. Drive what the hell you want and forget others opinions. Arent we all out of high school already?

Maybe but this isnt the "battle an opposite opinion" section either. Why cant you guys state your opinion and leave it at that? What can you get from arguing on the net with someone you'll never see? Cmon man, Im sure you got other things to do.Apologies to the OP, hope you got the info or opinions you were looking for... hopefully a few thread pages ago.

One last thing for the night Peter. I almost forgot to mention, I saw your avatar, nice pic of your car cover. I wanted to compliment you on it (the pic, not the cover). Really nice pic.
