I’d love to have one of the new Vettes.
Aside from not being able to afford it, two things prevent me.
One, we live on a dirt road, so that eliminates anything low to the ground.
But the other, is I was disappointed to find it doesn’t come with a manual transmission as an option. A sports car without a manual just doesn’t do it for me. Yeah, I’m old school, and it’s the trend to go to computer-controlled manual autos, but it would still a deal breaker for me if I was going to pay that much money. I don’t care how fast the paddle shifters work - it’s not the same as being connected.
Good gad. The Corvette's been neutered.
Snowflakes will love them.
It is tough to find a new pickup with a manual. Does any company still make one?
Yea it SUCKS that there is no true manual stick option even though technically the car is a manual.
I believe i read that the car has a suspension height control that will raise the car up for steep driveways and nasty roads.
I agree. My Porsche 993 was a traditional 6-speed, and I loved it. I've driven cars since then with paddle shifters, and it's not the same.
My current toy is a 1970 Morgan 4/4 with a 4-speed transmission, and I love being able to rev-match on downshifts and generally be in control of the car.
I’ve got a 370Z with a six speed manual. Great fun and the best theft protection device.
