So lack of heel toe skills then?

It was probably the half moon instrument cluster or plastic sunglass holder.

That was definitely something I wasn't good at, but driving around town I wasn't ever really in a situation where I needed to heel toe. 1st, 2nd, red light isn't an exaggeration in this town.

Some guy on the Smoking Tire podcast brought up short gears versus long gears. That might make a difference. I know that if you've got no problems being a total dickhead, there's nowhere in Medicine Hat that you'd need to shift into 2nd gear for in a 2014 ZL1. You can drive the speed limit on every road in this town in 1st gear.

On the other hand, there's zero chance I would have ever bought that car if it had an automatic. I think the 10 speeds are cool, and even the 8 speeds are kind of neat, but the 6L80 or 90 or whatever it was that came in that car is a truck transmission, and everything about it sucks.

Edit: I also don't think LS motors are as impressive as everyone says, I didn't have any problems with visibility and I liked the interior. So my opinions on what the 2014 Camaro is and isn't should be taken with a railway car of salt.

For me, DCT w/ rev matched downshifts that actually shifts instantly when you pull the paddle is better than anything else.

How about a MT with auto rev match? I believe all 6th gen MT Camaros come with it and it's a fun little setting. For me, a MT with this setting is still better than the DCT I had in the M3. Then again I don't drive in any sort of traffic so I'm a bit bias.

The CTR and Porsche has it, I thought I mentioned it in my previous post but maybe I didn't. I really like it but I would still take a DCT as #1 provided there was no paddle input lag (some cars have a lot and completely ruins the experience IMO).
