Oh no...not the manual vs automatic debate

I've always driven manual transmission cars since I was 16 and I traded in my C6 vette for a lexus is350 with paddles. It was definitely a nice break especially in commute traffic from LA to OC. The ZL1 will mark my return to a manual tranny. I no longer have to commute so far so I think I'll be OK

If your really interested in the ZL1 the last thing you are going to be concerned with or about is the price. You never know what gas is gonna cost, but you buy it anyway. Don't you??

All should agree that real driving is when you (the driver) is shifting gears. I understand that Chevy is trying to sell this vehicle to as many people as possible, but come on. If you can't drive manual than you should not be looking at a ZL1. I know people that can't even spell stick, and you know who you are. Automatic is a mistake created for non drivers. A person who has never driven a stick shift should not be in this elite club of owners of ZL1s.
Just an opinion.

I prefer a stick over an automatic when I want to hot rod around but since this is going to be my daily driver I have considered an automatic. The tap shift steering controls, I feel are a really cool option.

I will likely get a stick but I would not judge a person poorly if they got an automatic.

I would not be surprised if they sold more automatics than sticks.

Drake Heminger · 11-08-2011, 05:23 AM

If it did though to be honest I would be shocked and pissed... i mean id still buy it and later on live with regret i just wanna buy it and never have regret you know? but i really beleive it will be below mid 50's... i would be SHOCKED if any higher

Uneducated Guess · 11-08-2011, 05:25 AM

Yeah. I'm thinkin low 50's as well. 55 at the most. I'd buy it regardless as well but like you said, I'd regret it later.

Drake Heminger · 11-08-2011, 05:34 AM

I do know that pricing is to come out starting 14-18th i confirmed this will my internet rep who helped me build the car... i asked him what was WBA even though i knew just to kinda creep in the question of when... he told me 14th is when we will know something idk if its MSRP or just options but everything will be good for the 18th... also orders will be placed with GM by mid december... production is to start for the first allocation orders which start from 1-3, starting early JAN then will be at dealerships by mid FEB, possibly beggining of March, if everything goes accroding, which it is at this point(:
