The car will shift for you. That's the down side. The upside it has a potent azz pedal and when you floor it that 400lbs of torque throws you back like a bucking bronco. Something you can't get from a G or Z. That's why I rent them occassionally. I need the torque fix... lol

I don't know what shift mode you had it in but when in manual mode the car does not automatically up shift, it will just bounce off the rev limiter.

I agree that the plastic buttons are cheesy and the transmission is a little slow to respond to the input.

The camaro and Z are almost identical in straight line speed. I think the camaro it a couple tenths faster then the Z. if you do a power to weight ratio they are withing a couple hundreths of each other. Somewhere around .1 hp/lb if i remember correctly. I almost bought an SS Camaro but the Z is just a nicer car. The camaro feels faster because of all the low end torque. so it pushes u in the seat more at lower rpms. But the weight kills the car. Its all personal preferance. I liked the Z more so i bought it lol
