I should have bought a manual!!!
Today was the 4th of July, didn't think my local Chevy dealer would even have open doors but I went on in and talked to some tech guys I knew worked there, and met up with a salesman and talked them into letting me test drive a jet black Grand-Sport(manual). And all I have got to say is "OMG...sweet Jesus". I love that car! It handles very good! And is scary fast! To say today was my first time driving a manual, the salesman told me I handled that bad boy like I did this before; I said, I watch alot of Motor Trend lol.
I just kept in mind, the clutch is like putting the car in neutral to disengage the selected gear from the engine in order to switch", and I did just fine! It's sooo simple! I may not have the physics of the technical aspect of how it actually does work down pack, but I damn sure can drive it. The speed and instantaneous take off is amazing. I kinda didn't want to get back in my automatic. On the way home I was switching back and forth from Drive to Sport Mode just to feel like I had a manual!! rofl!
I tell you guys,....when Im in the market for a new car, .....the Corvette, I will definitely be getting a manual transmission. It's fun and get's alot more rear-wheel horsepower.
