Possible Future C5 Owner
Hey all, been lurking for few weeks on your forum filled with info debating buying early C5 to feed a need for a Manual with some power and handling. Past few years have had a 14 Camaro SS, 15 SS Sedan and now currently own at 17 SS, all AT.
When I bought the 17 really wanted a manual but ended up with AT again, seems you guys have plenty of manuals in your world to choose from so plan is to keep my 17 SS and have a daily choice to row gears in a C5 or let the slush box pick in my 17, fast and loud either way.
