If I haven't said it already. NO. I would like to see a SMG type gearbox offered though. You still have the control of the manual, but can drive it in automatic mode if you want to.

The tremec T56 will be outfitted shortly with Zeroshift technology and should be available by the best tuners in the United States in 2006. They have a corvette C5 testing later this month with this device. There's some huge interest in this innovative technology.

Consider that

After modding your cars for a 200 hp increase..this is the next best mod for acceleration improvement.

TVR a very similiar concept to the american corvette (high hp rwd car) has been able to improve zero to 100mph acceleration by approximately 2 seconds using this transmission over the standard Tremec T5..

it took 200 hp improvement to knock 2 seconds off the zero to 100mph run..

The next 2 second improvment was made by adding zeroshift.

Think about the implications of this device. Still working with a stick shift handle in the center of the car ...

Its coming and its going to be available and distributed by the most admired Corvette tuners throughout the United States..

Get ready to open you wallets guys...cause this device should rock the automotive world.

Anticipate sometime late this summer early fall for the european press to go gaga over this in the latest TVR's.

New production TVR's will carry this device...and retrofit of existing in service TVR's is planned as well.

its a totally mechanical device that utilizes our Tremec tranny's so retrofit to our cars should be easy.

I wouldn't be surprised if GM has this planned for the C6 Z06 second or third year either.

Here's the link: http://www.pistonheadstv.com/images/...arEng_0204.pdf

Screw the paddle BS..Zero shift is where its at.

Automatic is the way to go if you are a drag racer. SMG would be nice.

alright, I want the names of the 94 who voted in favor of this so i can straighten them out with a rubber hose.

just havin' a little fun.

I have only owned one Auto. and it's my Toyota Tundra pickup and it drives me crazy. I still "clutch" the brake when slowing down sometimes, which wakes me up abruptly and I hate that. No other way to get the V8 in a Tundra though.

It's a whole control thing with me...

I do see everyone's point regarding racing. Seems if the gear ratio's and auto clutch were perfect, that would be a dream for ET's......

Re: Would You Buy An Automatic Z06?

No, I wouldn't buy an automatic Z06! It seems sac-religious to have a automatic sports car; besides I like to shift too much!
