Welcome to the forum. The great debate between manual and auto is an interesting one especially with the technology available today. I would not by an auto but that is just me.
Good luck with your search, lots of knowledgable folks on here.

Personally would rather drive a stick Miata than an auto Corvette, but that's just me.

Welcome to CCF and good choice.
Not sure what you are after for a car but look closely at and understand the different trim levels and options available on your Z06 purchase. If you're buying new, there are tons of different configurations and some great deals available for well optioned 2017 new lot cars. Most of which you will find are A8s. (auto). M7s are a bit harder to find so the cars may not be your dream configuration and color....depending what that is.
Plenty of good low KM used cars around too. I bought 2 used Z06s in the last 2 years before I got my latest new one, and both were fantastic.
Fire away with the questions on the C7s. Lot of guys here with all different colors and trims. Tell us what you are after.
Derek
PS: M7 all the way.
Thanks Derek...appreciate the reply and the thoughts. Am still looking around at all the options, so likely will have questions.
The auto/manual dilemma. IMO... There is a reason such high percentage of C7Z' are ordered A8. There is also a reason we are seeing most high powered cars, most of which cost five times as much, go with an auto as well. I always wonder how many manual lovers have spent a healthy amount of time living behind the wheel of a 650HP car. And then... there are a respectable amount of videos depicting C7Z accidents, all of which seem to be manual versions.
I have chirped into this before and am a manual lover...but I would never go back. It is just too busy in the cockpit of a C7Z to work a manual, especially if you are a driving enthusiast. I am 53...but this view has absolutely nothing to do with age. Floor the brake, mash the gas and release into launch mode with an A8 and you will be hooked. It truly is lift-off.

Chirping is the best word to describe this. Many of us know how to drive and love our manual transmissions Les.
It is no too busy in my car to shift and enjoy the car at the same time
I’m on my 2 C7 Z06 both with manuals. A choice.
You have an automatic. Good for you if it works for you but come on man. Don’t imply guys with manuals can’t handle them.
Please...
