Vette(s): 1977 Silver Coupe
My wife had never driven a stick. But when we we married I had a 68 Chevelle With a 4sp. She learned. A couple of weeks later, I found out she was doing a little Light to Light drag racing. AND whoopin them.
But that was a few years ago. Now she tells me how to drive. watch that car, theres a stopsign, etc. etc......

Karen:

Stay with learning how to shift manually. Although automatics have come a long way since the days of the two speed "slush box", You will never realize the true performance potential of a Corvette with an automatic transmission. (My humble opinion). I would have a manual transmission in every car I own, if they were available, except for the vehicle used to a tow a trailer (Jeep Grand Cherokee). Backing a trailer up a hill around a curve with a manual transmission can be a real challenge

There is no substitute for low end torque!
