[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 123421, member: 3537"] Hi Kevin, I am on my 3rd Z06. The first one was a 13Z with the M6. 2nd and 3rd Zs have the M7. I chose a manual simply because it's what I want. I drove an 18 Stingray for a week with the A8 and fully admit the in town driving was terrific. However the paddles felt kind of useless in town as it seemed to be a lot of work. I know that must seem weird to read but they were a PITA unless I was really getting into it. With the manual I drive in 2nd and 3rd pretty much everywhere in the city. For me with the M7 in the city its actually is less shifting with gobs of power available than the A8 on paddles. In heavy city traffic you can't beat the A8 in full auto. It's a very smooth transmission and responds quick. On the highway it think they would both be great and see no real performance advantage in either. On the track.... no idea. Haven't tried (yet). I would think any Corvette would be fun as hell on a track. I will confirm that at the end of March. I know most C7s are being built and sold with the A8 and the numbers are climbing. I suggest you drive them both before you buy as the C7 M7 and A8 are unique transmissions to any other generation of Corvette. So apples to apples..... what is your favorite... red delicious or macintosh? Not a bad problem to have Kevin... Not bad at all. :Biggrin: Derek [/QUOTE]
