My C6 Corvette Convertible shifts so much faster with the paddle shifters than I ever could with the six and four-speed manuals I've owned. And I never drop revs. Owned a couple C4s back in the day, as well as a 1970 and a half Z28, that was blazing fast back in '71 (not to mention turbo Supra and 300ZX turbo Nissan).
I'm hoping to see an all-wheel drive, seven-speed or more automatic for future Corvettes. Tired of watching videos where lower horsepower Porsches and GTRs leave Vettes at the starting line. What the hell is launch control when it don't launch???
Jus' sayin'...
