I am also human. I run the night shift solo, so the occasional mistake will be made. I did apologize. 

I mean, you knew that’s what I meant. Homonym typos occasionally happen, and I’m sorry you had to get pedantic on me!

Feels like high-end hotels charging for wifi when every crappy value hotel includes it free.

Question is, are you on any drugs or medication? Not even a new P100D is worth taking over a C8. The C8 will be more than fast enough and sound incredible along with oozing style. The P85D was never all that quick and only gets slower with age, also it lacks tremendously in the looks department.

I’m 25. That’s around the age of most of our staff writers. Go ride your horse to the tonic bar, Santa. 

When all of those stupid “Millenials are destroying [something]” articles come out, they are almost always featuring people who are actually part of Generation Z. The oldest Millennials are actually 38.

According to Pew Research 22 year olds are not considered Millennials and are considered Gen Z.

Is Millennial-bashing still a thing?

Then go and design, build, and sell a manual swap kit for the car and see how much money they left on the table.

for ~50% or more money. 

“They need to know they are leaving money on the table.”

In 2018, they sold 9,686 and the take rate on the manual was 22%. So that’s 2131 manuals. That many times $3K would about $6.4M in revenue. Between the per vehicle transmission cost and the engineering to develop the one off transmission and all the rest of the linkages, pedals, interior, electronics, etc. I don't see…

I think it’s kind of deluded to think that “leaving money on the table” is going to happen here. The cost to design, procure, and do all of the related work to make a manual happen in something like this would go way past anything they’d ever recoup in sales.

Exactly, if Chevy really wants to appeal to Corvette buyers it should include Hawaiian shirts with tiny pictures of Corvettes on them, not manual transmissions.

I have 3 kids, one going off to college in a month, a middling business, and am wondering how I can retire in 15 years. I have no way to buy this thing now so I did what I could and bought a manual Solstice. When the kids are self sufficient then I will worry about no manual in the Vette. As of now, I can only say to…

Y’know, I’m entirely OK with this.

Even with older Vettes, the manuals were relatively uncommon. Go back to the C3 and even with those the 4-speed manual was not super common. The demographic that buys Corvettes generally isn’t interested in manual transmissions, they just want to cruise around in a car that looks cool. Track junkies will be fine with…

Cry a river.

I would like to comment in order to complain about how many comments there are complaining about how many C8 articles there are.
