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.

Kind of wondering why you didn't test a manual when you bought your car.
And in my opinion, either get a ZR1 or don't get a Vette at all. I know I'd be pissed it wasn't a ZR1. And generally speaking...the only people I see with Vettes or looking to buy one are grandpas. lol
But yes, ZR1 or nothing at all.
