I know 2 different cars and the Vette is "faster", but for guys like me it is about the driving experience not the flat out speed. I can make my manual car faster but I cannot add a manual to a C8 Vette.
Agreed. I wanted the Corvette to go Mid-Engine as per Duntov's dream long before it became popular. I also will only own manual sports cars...so while I love the availability of the DCT for those who choose it, no manual, means no ME Corvette for me. That's massively disappointing for me. I am a C8 customer GM lost, as I am forced to look at other brands moving forward, and I'm far from the only one.
