2016 camaro ss manual vs automatic mods#

Paddle shifters are a bit slow to react but when they do the shift is quick, and in manual mode you can hold the downshift paddle to immediately select the lowest possible gear for your engine speed. On paper, the autos are marginally faster in 0-60 and top speed across the board, and get better gas mileage due to the gearing scheme (and cylinder deactivation in the v6 and v8s), have super fast shifts, and can be really smooth but sometimes the 8-speeds have issues. The opposite is true in the SS, the 8-speed (2016-18) and 10-speed (19-20) outclasses the manual, and the 10-speed in the ZL1 is even better. Not to say that they are inherently bad, but not as good of a driving experience. The version of the 8-speed auto the turbo and v6 have isnt that great a pairing for the engine, and the manual outclasses them. The turbo and v6 have the same version of each transmission, which is different from the ss versions and the zl1 versions. Personal opinion, but I think it depends on the engine.
