Reason for trading down? Fun factor! I found that the C8 did everything well, but I really missed the manual transmission even with the Dual Clutch Transmission! I am happy, plus cut my car payments by a year and $400 monthly.
Same here. Had a c8 z51 and found it boring. Was my first automatic car since I was a teenager and after a year and a half of ownership I had to go back to a manual. That and it was way too quiet. Sure, you can add an exhaust but with all the tranny issues with the C8 I didn't want to risk a warranty claim issue should something happen. So sold it and bought a SS 1LE manual. I miss the wow factor the corvette offered (I've had C6 GS, then C7 Z06, then C8) but the manual camaro is just much more fun to drive
