I had a 2014 C7 Coupe with the Z51 Package. Had the 7 Speed Manual. It was pretty quick, 0-60 in 3.8 Seconds.
My Mid Engine 2020 C8 HTC without the Z51 Package and the 8 Speed DCT could do 0-60 in 2.9 seconds with only 30 more HP, 495 versus 465 in the 2014.
Technology marches on. The C8 made my C7 look like a Dinosaur in Looks, Technology and Performance. My C7 was never mistaken for a Ferrari or a Lambo like my C8 was.
Speaking of transmissions, I love the guys who decry the lack of availability of manual transmissions. I point out that F1 cars haven’t had manual transmissions for what? 2 decades at this point? And do they also want carbide headlamps and a manual crank starter?
They tend to get huffy at that point, which I enjoy.
