I agree completely. It opens the car up to a much wider audience. One that neither the GT500, Boss 302, or even the Z06 tap. Quite a big point on the car's resume!

(Though mine will be manual...)

I agree but to play devils advocate.... Slush boxes have got so much better and quicker! It would really chap my a** to lose to one at the track! So I guess the question is do I want to be competitive at the track or happy rowing through gears in town. Hmmmm I am actually torn now that I talk about it

Losing to a fellow ZL1 would be an honor and a privilege...so...no bearing.

Remember my thoughts on the SSX-style wheels? In my world, they apply here, too.

Thanks for the pics Number 3.
If I could afford it I'd buy a Z06. In black.

Yummy!

Number3, That Supersonic Blue Z06 is beautiful! If the SSX wheels come polished like those, I might have to pick up that option. Thanks for the great pictures.
