I believe that you are misinformed. The C6.R did not ever have an automatic transmission (particularly one that would automatically shift, or used a torque converter). The C6.R without a manual gearbox car had a six-speed sequential manual with a hydraulically actuated electronically controlled clutch. Each shift…

This, and the C7 Corvette overall, is the most exciting domestic model since the gen 1 Viper. This is a Big Day. Been a long time since I've felt this excited about an American car...and it is long fucking overdue. RIGHT ON.

Yea because the Z06 is the king of the strip lol.

'Murica.

Yea, makes sense to compare a race spec sequential transmission to ANYTHING that is offered to consumers...

I've got a lead foot.

I've never been a Corvette fan, but I'll say it straight up:

Dear Georgetown Chevrolet,

WHO THE HELL OFFERS A CAR WITH ACCIDENT DAMAGE AS A REPLACEMENT?!?!?!? That is the single most F'd up thing of this whole mess. So they're able to find a 12 ZL1 with 13,000 miles and not all the options the Hooper's wanted. That's actually reasonable. You're also willing to help them out with money to fix the…

In before butt-hurt Porsche fans come sniffing their flatulence from wine flutes.

No dealer will accept an Escort as a straight trade for a C7 Z06, unless it's an RS Cosworth.

I know this is going to sound ridiculous... but is this too much power for me? I mean... I know it's got giant wide tires on it... but is there anywhere that you can legally plant your foot on the floor on this thing while on public roads? I'm talking about accelerating to highway speeds, or even passing someone…

Whoring, no. Escort, maybe.
