If you plan on going to the drag strip a lot then an auto would be the way to go if you want to be consistently fast, but I always have a blast in my M6.
Something about banging all the gears, even missing a gear and screaming every cuss word imaginable can make that pass amusing.

Stock good years a terrible when wet or in tempatures below 40 so ditch those and do some research on which ones to upgrade too. A lot of options out there

Why would you let the auto tranny control the 580 stock hp?

Just a thought......

As many people here I traded in my SS for a ZL1 and thought it was a huge upgrade IMO. And manual to me is a lot more fun to drive, more low end torque as well.

Auto is alright if your going to seriously hit the drag strip or drive the car a lot. People try and claim the auto is way faster, I just think they need to learn to launch with a manual transmission.

Welcome to the club. ZL1 is an awesome car. Whether you stay stock or go into mod madness, it's great either way.
