Damn Jimmy what an analogy. I'll never read that story now without thinking of a C8.
My insistence a manual is offered relates to my own personal experience driving my Camaro. I've never been to the track over my 13 years of ownership. I'm not opposed to it but work and my kids sports take up my time. The back and forth to work and occasional highway on ramp are made way better by the six speed manual mated to the LS3. If I owned a Corvette the places I drive wouldn't be any different and the chances I wring it out to full potential, or at least try, would be rare. I'm sure the DCT is a great transmission and allows the C8 to exploit its full potential but actual owners are more likely to drive to Home Depot than their hometown track.
