He's gonna go to his grave cussing GM out for not keeping a real manual transmission in the Corvette.

Even my Mom, who has a 2016 Stingray Z51 with the 8 speed auto, thinks it's crazy that a Corvette wouldn't have a real manual transmission.

There's no excuse. None. They really alienated 60 years of dedicated enthusiasts to appeal to the millenials who wouldn't know a tie rod from a cheeseburger.

The Corvette is officially a show car for rich pricks with zero car cred. GM sold out.
