I'm back and thinking "C7 or 2024 SS?" - Page 5

What I noticed coming out from an automatic A6 transmission Stingray Z51 to my 6 spd manual transmission Camaro SS, that the Corvette felt more agile/nimbler on the road while changing lanes at speed or taking a curve, probably because its lower to the ground and lighter weight, the Camaro felt heavier on the rear while doing the same maneuvers. But I really love my 6 speed manual transmission of my Camaro, the exhaust sounds louder and my wife prefers the seating position of the Camaro, the driving feeling feels faster on the manual transmission because you rpm it to your own (probably is not really faster, just the driving feeling).

In order of preference:
1. Camaro ZL1

2. Corvette C7 Grand Sport

3. Camaro SS1LE

4. Camaro SS

I enjoyed my manual SS a lot, but I had to sell it because my wife developed motion sickness riding in the manual with the shifting. She wouldn't ride in it with me, so it just sat in the driveway most of the time. She does not get sick in an automatic. I owned an 2016 RS before I got the SS and she didn't get sick in the RS.

I don't see me ever getting a C8 since it is my DD and no room to carry stuff vs a C6 or 7. The 2021 LT1 Camaro i owned had plenty of room but the trunk like on my 2015 GT Stang was too small to get my Yeti cooler inside.
