After driving a manual 1le , I think my next car which I am considering a base z06 will be automatic

I love my M6 ZL1 but.................the new 8spd auto in the Z06/Z07 is just awesome.

I think were at a point where the autos start surpasing the manuals in performance.

Just my .02

Becky when do you think they will be discounting the Z06 vettes ? I need like 10% off the list price to afford one !

I get about $10,000 off list price with my supplier discount at work. I priced one out at $106K and my discount dropped it to $96K.

However for this discussion, auto it is. We currently have a 427 which is manual and the gf can't drive it, so we'll need auto so she can drive the new one.

What is a supplier discount? Is it the same thing as GM employee discount ?

Right now neither discount is offered on the Z06. IF it becomes
Available in the future the difference between the 2 is about
$1500 on average.

I have always been a gear-jammer myself. But, it would be nice to hear from some Z06 owners on their experiences with this power house beast.

Cause you need another Corvette...:popcorn:

:popcorn: Love to know what the 8spd Auto feels like :becky:



One can never be too rich or too thin or own too many Corvettes :becky:

Must have a Corvette for every mood! :thumb:

Manual for me. Had the 7M on my previous Z51 Stingray and ordered it that way again when I built my Z06. Nothing wrong with the auto (my other car has a PDK) but I enjoy more the full control and fun-factor of rowing the gears the old-fashioned way. Banging it on a Z is even suweeeter. :D

Besides my Z... 2 of the 3 Stingrays in this pic are also 7M as preferred by their respective owners.

The yellow Z51 is Auto, which I had first. Just got the Red Z06 and it is manual. I prefer the manual. Both are fun. The Auto is easy and simple. Press on the gas and go fast, fast. However, I feel the manual is just more fun to drive. More interaction with the car and that just makes it more fun to drive for me. I think unfortunately that the days of the manual transmission will be a thing of the past in the near future. So I am going to enjoy it while it is still available.

An automatic was never a consideration for me.
