Really, do you like it, is it more fun in the same car?

No comparison! For 22 years I despised the TH350, now I want to drive it every day. A major limitting factor of the TH350 was cruise RPM, now 60-65 is 5th at 1900-2100 and 70-75 in 6th at 1900-2100 vs. 3000-3600 rpm.

The close ratio T56 Magnum's gear ratio are spot on for the 355 ci with 3:50-3:73 gearing. 1st gear is actually usable.

I have always felt the Camaro platform was design for a manual trans first, the auto option more for convenience. :thumbsup:
