Whoa......slow down there Steve. Take a deep breath. Are you asking what we would reccommend, a stick or an automatic. You will probably get a lot of votes for either so you will ultimately have to make up your own mind. I prefer a 4-speed myself. Good luck on your purchase http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif
