C7 Corvette Stingray chief engineer Tadge Juechter explains the choice to go with a 6 speed automatic transmission (and not 8 speed) for the 2014 Corvette – see 10:30 into this video.
Essentially, the reason is that the 6 speed is good for high torque engine like the LT1, while fitting an 8 speed just adds weight and mass.
Newest (and best, in our opinion) installment of the “2014 Stingray Revealed” series from GM. This one features the driving experience of the C7 Corvette Stingray.
Per GM: The 2014 Corvette Stingray transforms the driving experience. Everything changes. Five distinct, selectable driver modes. Real-time performance data. An Electronic Limited Slip Differential. Integrated driving technology. All calibrated to instill confidence in the driver.

The next (second) installment of GM’s 2014 Stingray Revealed features has been posted. This one focuses on the 2014 Corvette Stingray interior, which features a design, materials, and quality that GM feels is a departure from the much maligned interiors of past Corvettes.
Watch the 2013 Super Bowl MVP, Joe Flacco, being presented the keys to his newly won 2014 Corvette Stingray (for being the game’s MVP).
