Yes keep it, eventually you would get better and not repent that you let it go.

My vote is for you to sell and replace with the A10. The best auto I ever driven

I separated my right shoulder back in the day in a racquetball tournament. Still was able to drive my '92 LX 5.0 manual home shifting left handed. I recovered in a few weeks and kept my manual.

Have an A10 and it is one of the best autos I've driven but if you prefer manual, I would keep your car.

Keep the stick ZL1. Although if you don't want a stick then there's also the GT500 to think about. Paddles to paddles I would definitely take the 500 short term. Long term is probably a different story since I believe most of what is polished about the 500 will be old news inside of five years (it already is for AMG and BMW), which is part of why I would suggest keeping the stick ZL1.

keep her, I don't care how great a 10 speed is. You will be healthy again and miss it. I just got into a new GMC truck yesterday with the 10 speed. To me thats what a 10 speed is for.

Words of wisdom.

Apexslayer · 10-10-2021, 08:40 PM

LOL - Thanks for the words of advice. I had lunch with my nephew today - he says keep it also. I make final decision tomorrow.

Apexslayer · 10-17-2021, 04:31 PM

Update: Local dealer made a great offer (that had me convinced I was making a mistake selling) and they picked her up earlier this week. I'm already having sellers remorse, now I just need to get rid of all these extra wheels, tires and brake pads.

dbs1 · 10-17-2021, 08:47 PM

I'm on the fence about selling mine, though for different reasons. I've decided if I can't get close to what I'm asking and including the extra track wheels and pads my son and I will get time at the track together after he sold the C5 vette I sold him.

FlowTie · 10-17-2021, 10:14 PM

I don't understand how yall can switch cars like changing clothes cause I get too attached lol. Had to save for years to afford my ZL1, and that gave me a lot of time to consider all options so even if I weren't attached I'd just get another Camaro funds willing. I actually have seen a few folks here doing that, guess I'm in the right place.

laynlo15 · 10-17-2021, 10:50 PM

A10 all the way. You won't go back

Both the M6 and the A10 are excellent choices. Now you have even more time to heal (if you want to be back in an M6) and do research before prices start dropping, if ever

Alain · 10-21-2021, 08:35 AM

OP. Hope you heal quickly and get back into the car game soon.

how much did the dealership offer ya?

Im considering selling my 2018. VROOM and Carvana had very different offers. 60k and 46K respectively. The difference in offers has thrown me for a loop.

Manuals are becoming increasingly rare. I'd hate to let go of a ZLE M6 this near the end.
