The manual take rate argument doesn’t make any sense to me. I guarantee GM sells a higher percentage of manual cars than Corvette owners track their car. GM might as well stop putting money into developing the track capability of the car. Just put base shocks and all seasons on the Z06 because most people just want the Z06 badge on the car. Hell, make the Z06 badge an add on for the base model and most people wouldn’t tell the difference.
The fact is a person that buys an automatic, drop top Z06 doesn’t want a Z06. They want the hype of owning a Z06. They want the image of driving the car. The C7 Z06 sold well, not because it’s a great Z06 but because it was so anti Z06.
