Go to your nearest Chevy Dealer and request to take a Camaro out for a test drive.
Learn on the test drive.
Come back buy a Vette.

Stick or Auto
Only one question, do you like your food pre-chewed? If you do a auto is for you, if you enjoy chewing your own food then you get the stick. A manual is far more involving than a a auto will ever be.

Learn stick first. THEN buy. Surely you must have a friend or family member who can teach you? You don't want to LEARN on a 430 horsepower machine.
Oh... and you're 20? Please remember to be careful as well, young grasshopper.

Funny you ask. I went to a place in 1991 where the salesman let me go drive out on my own. So, while I hung around "checking out the car" I gave him a "What are you gonna stand here all day until I drive out" look. He laughed and walked off and let me get comfortable. The hardest part is taking off in 1st gear. I learned in just about 20 minutes. I also stalled it 3 times at various lights too. But I came back and ordered a brand new car.

Of course not.
If you want to learn stick, go spend a few thousand, buy a beater car with a stick, figure it out on that for a few months, then go in knowing how to drive stick.
