[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 116408, member: 2"] Nice to see the thread cool off. I streamlined it a little as I don't really want to read that stuff on the forum and it doesn't add anything to the topic. I understand that debate and conflict can happen but it seemed to exceed the level of respect I expect between our members and almost always just naturally see from everyone. If anyone has any questions, I welcome you to send me a message and we can discuss. I'll add my opinion to this thread, and it's just an opinion on the slip in 3rd gear how I see it................. Just get a manual transmission everyone. Automatics are for wusses! :D Just kidding. Although this issue may be slight and not affect the function of the vehicle itself, it is a flaw noticed by some people. When buying a new car, you expect for things to work as they should. Now if GM sold the Corvette with the A8 and said, "You'll notice that in 3rd gear when in manual mode, at light throttle applications what feels like a bit of a slip is just line pressure changes and clutch engagement with the band groupings between 3rd and 4th gear and the programing requires a touch of slip to change ranges in the transmission."
