Every single one an auto tranny.

However gay it sounds a car is NOT a toy, they want to make these things easy as cake to drive so your buddy with under 100iq can drive one but then winds up killing somebody cuz he wasnt paying any attention. Not only do standard trannys give you more control over the vehicle they keep you on your toes.

Lol, looks like I let the manual v auto debate out of the bag.
Jimmy, I just got back from driving back and forth to San Diego twice (family emergency) not gonna be heading down to Phoenix this month, but I'll look ya up next time i'm there. I saw your new billet grill and it looks sharp, would love to see what you've done with the car. Mine's still completely stock (cept stereo), believe me when I say i'm new to all this engine mod stuff.
I'm a computer geek at heart and just discovered the joys of a camaro.
