[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 175832, member: 3537"] Well then the fact you actually drive and enjoy a manual corvette or otherwise was not apparent in your first post. Thanks for the clarification as now your thoughts carry some weight. Definitely some of us are disappointed with the C8 coming out with no manual available, however the DCT is a serious upgrade to the track capability of the car. No denying that. My 17 C7 Z is the best Corvette I have had for a number of reasons. No car is perfect but this one checks off more boxes than the C6Z and even the 15 C7Zs I owned. 18 and 19 just saw a bit of polishing of the 17 with a mag ride upgrade and a couple little cosmetic changes. The mag ride upgrade is available for the earlier models as well. I definitely like the C8 and the more I see it and learn about it the more I recognize the commitment GM instilled into designing a serious modern performance machine with the ability to outperform the C7 Stingray out of the box. The car is going to be epic in the Z06 and ZR1 versions I expect. The performance specific upgrades will be functional practical and look great in and on the car. I am excited to see some track numbers for the C8 and expect some new records for a few tracks with this car. Would I buy the C8? Hell ya I would. But not the base model. Once the Z06s are out I’m going to be watching closely as despite the lack of manual this car will be amazing to drive. Frankly the look and design of the car calls for the DCT by default I feel as I look and learn more about the car. So keep the C7 for rowing gears and strap into the C8 for a supercar day? Seems win win to me. So let me extend a proper welcome to you. Welcome to the forum. Look forward to hearing about your experiences and seeing some photos of your corvettes and other fast or fun toys. Derek [/QUOTE]
