My lease is up at the end of this year and i want to purchase a V8. either a stang, camaro, or challenger.
i've been driving manual my whole life but i live in a big city and am getting tired/annoyed by it these days.. i still love to drive stick but im crossed on whether to get manual or auto.
what does /o/ think? and which of the big 3 muscle cars should i get?
Manual. You can't beat the sound and feel of a big V8 on over run changing up a gear.

Here's my experience with driving stick and switching to auto
>learned how to drive stick at 18
>every car after was stick
>buy automatic 05 accord at 25
>dig it at first because it's chill and driving is relaxaing (read: boring)
>realize how much i miss racking through gears and being engaged while driving
Next car was a 300 hp six speed. Even in traffic, i always prefer having the third pedal. If you're buying a far pony car and have always had a stick, don't fuck this up and buy a plebeian automatic. IMO

auto for city driving
manual for highway commutes & country road fun times

Get the new Dodge Demon/Hellcat Challenger that they're revealing next month.

i love driving stick but goddamn living in a big city and constantly working the gears is a chore.. it pretty much like you said, im deciding fun v. comfort.. i want a muscle car but dont know if ill regret getting an auto
>>16861967
auto or stick?
>>16861981
>i want a muscle car but dont know if ill regret getting an auto
you will regret
get a DD toyota camry or corolla that's $8k or less
save up for your V8 manual and get two cars
>>16861981
Stick if it's offered. I still don't trust dodge auto transmissions even though the ones in the hellcats are probably great.
it really depends
some cars are made for manuals and some are made for automatics
some cars have such a great automatic transmission that it will do nothing but hurt the performance just swapping it to a manual.
>>16862011
dodge/FCA doesn't make their own transmissions anymore.
They use transmissions from ZF which are used in every high end auto manufacturer
why dont you get a car with DCT
V8 mustang or V8 charger
Only get challenger if you're wet for classic muscle car look. Only get Camaro if there's something about it you like more than the others.
>>16861917
all of those cars are available with paddle shifters
