You bring up a very good point.

I had a 79 Vette with the L82 engine (Auto).. Of course there were no 5 speed automatics back then.
My 77 firebird with the 301 was also automatic however I installed a shift kit.

Auto-stick attempts to restore the driving experience but its no substitute for a stick.

To be honest, I don't want to test drive a stick....I know it will give me anxiety over purchasing the auto.

Thanks for the feedback.
