Nah, I’ve driven a modern DCT paired to a flat plane crank NA V10 (Audi R8), so I’ve tried it in an arguably more exciting car than a stingray but less exciting than a Z06. I’d still take my slow manual Camaro SS 1LE over the Audi and the stingray.

Also the whole thing about the manual take rate on the stingray “only” being 26% isn’t being looked at properly. That 26% is 10% HIGHER than the manual take rate on Camaro’s from 2020-2024. You can download the data on these forums and see for yourself. I’m not joking/lying, Camaro owners much prefer the auto versus the manual.
