I don't know about that. The original '69 ZLI could be ordered with a Turbo 400 automatic and 22 were. Good old boys back then.

Interesting read about the history of the ZL1.

You might be paying more too.

yes there should be auto because not eveyone in the world knows how to use a manul transmission so i voted yes

OK, that's 1000 votes.

Let's hear it...............

Driving a tradition manual transmission should be part of the drivers test... It's beginning to become a forgotten skill.

I think the fact that only 22 Auto 69 ZL1's were ordered should be a hint for the new ZL1.

If sticking with tradition/history an auto option should be available for those who so desire.

My vote.....No, however, each driver should at least have a choice. Expect to pay a good deal more for the automatic. However, if a person is willing to shell out the added cost.....well, then don't be surprised by that. When I say added cost........the automatic will be more, and expect the gas tax (maybe). A lot of folks may only be able to drive an automatic, and GM would stand to sell a few more vehicles by offering that option. The ZL1 will be too strong to limit it's sales to just the M6.
