My ZL1 is a toy. As would a C8 or 911 be. I prefer my toy to have an honest to God, manual transmission. Not another computer controlled device.

I get that a DCT can shift faster than I can. And I don't care. I love to row my own gears. So, if Chevy is done with manuals in Corvettes... I will never own one.

Nice looking car though...
This exactly. Porsche figured it out, and back tracked to start offering the manual in almost every 911.

DCT's are great tech, but in my experience very boring.
