Will- Have you caught the "Auto" bug. Very different experience, but I do enjoy a big lazy V8 mated to a slushmatic, very relaxing & effortless, just press & go..
I had a loaner (I think it was Blue) from Linden with the same Holden 5.0 ltr engine but manual, no comparison to an LS1 but still enjoyable & characterful. I liked its rawness.

Me, drive an automatic out of choice, I think not but got to agree with all your comments

Yeah, given the choice I'd go for a manual HSV every time. Nice to have both though, like you said, Auto makes a great holiday car.
But we did this Manual v. Auto discussion to death, so I'll shut up.

Fair Dinkum, what's going on ? I have coppied my post from the other page to here, Are we using this one ?

That's great mate,

As I have said before the auto's can be fun, plus they are great when on a long trip (like in Aus)no need to change gear. Foot down & lets go !

People in the UK don't like them because most of the time the auto is behind an under powered buz box.

"When it's a V8 mate she's great".

This car from LSV, it's the Brownie Gold colour one isn't it mate. Saw it when we where up there last.

Good buy if your like me & can't afford the extra for the LS1 manual.
