You don't have to be a genius to drive stick! BUT YOU BETTER HAVE ***** OF STEEL TO DRIVE THIS CAR in the snow, all that torque, little experience driving a stick/rwd, w/ no LSD or TCS. Hope we don't see a post from you in 6months about you wrecking this car. Good luck man.

Trick your parents, use the dealer to help, call the dealer and tell him your coming in with your parents and to have all automatics being higher end Z i.e. 35th anniv. And then have a lower end model that is cheaper anyways in manual! As they say, "if there's a will, there's a way"!

True. I wish I could swap out the manual for the auto when stuck in I-4 traffic but I love the manual when I'm driving down that twisty road I found on my way to work.
