What would you get in the new 2015 C7 Z06?

+1 for Stick.

 

[SSC6Z06]

Automatic and stick in a loose converter.

Auto so the wife can drive it. :rofl:

Ain't driving if I ain't shifting!!!

Totally agree !!

Would be neat only if it came with a lower differential. Maybe a 3.73! My 2012 with this 2.66 first and 3.42 is too tall even for daily driving.

is the race car an auto or stick?

Both actually. It's a sequential gearbox, a manual transmission that's shifts with the push of a button.

Sequential manual transmission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't feel as "in control" with an auto. Any Corvette I will ever own will always be a manual.

If the 8 speed truly was not a performance compromise...

I'd venture an automatic 8 speed shifting faster than a Porsche PDK (80 milliseconds faster or whatever nonsense number it is)

I'd try the automatic....

I'm gonna row the gears! It's 3 pedals for me! :thumb:

:what:

Manual so the wife can't drive it! On the other hand, not an option because I have a wife.

Some one please educate me....where would anyone use 7 or 8 gears on the street (has anything been said about the rear end ratio)? I know GM does it to get better mileage in front of the regulators, but is there really a use for a 7/8 speed trans on the street?

I rarely even use 6th gear unless I'm on the freeway. Can't imagine needing 8 but hopefully they have an optimum first gear so a lower differential won't gain much if any acceleration for drag racing even with sticky tires. And too hopefully with 8 closer gears. The less rpm drop at shift equates to better ets.

That was too funny:good_one:

EXACTLY....three pedals or the Robot is driving for you. If I want two pedals I will buy a golf cart.

I would choose the manual (and voted for manual) - but if we got one I think hubby would want the automatic (he has some health issues that may prevent him from 3 pedal driving - or at least make it much more difficult for him).

If an auto would allow him to enjoy it more I would concede (I'd still have the Cayman R for shifting). I love the manual in our C6 Z06.

I say GM gets big props for offering both and allowing their customers to decide for themselves (unlike Porsche who made the decision for all which I disagree with).
