Did you find the DCT so unappealing, even when you shift it manually?
Wish I could recommend a dealership in your vicinity, but it isn't easy in this area... the amazing one I'd found earlier went bankrupt shortly after covid  , and the one we used with other GM cars in the family is meh, not worth the drive for you. Those cars and SUVs are now gone, so the Camaro is our only GM vehicle, and I try to do maintenance on it myself, that way I know it's done with full attention, if very slowly  |
The DCT in the Vette was very impressive and extremely fast shifting but the paddles are just not the same as the 3rd pedal. The raw power was not there in the Vette yet it is faster 0-60 than the ZL1. It also did not sound as impressive. I absolutely love the rev match feature in the Camaro. My wife is not quite as enthused about it though but she can’t drive a manual and doesn’t want to learn so her loss. Lol! The C8’s have been losing their value quickly so I felt like it was time now to try something different. I was at least fortunate to buy my C8 at sticker in 2022 so I didn’t lose as much as some. It was a fun ride but I can always go back. If I ever go back it would probably be an ERay but it’ll be a while before I even start thinking about again.
I did go to to Rick Hendricks and Malcolm Cunningham Chevy in Alpharetta and they seemed nice and knowledgeable enough.
Vengeance racing is right down the road from me so that’s a good option to have too.
Side note, we seriously looked at moving to Knoxville, but Alpharetta won.
Keep me in mind if you’re ever close by. I’d love to see your ride in person. It sounds amazing.
