Tell that to all the Porsche/BMW drivers. I work for a luxury auto dealership group, and couldn't tell you the last time I saw a manual transmission car in inventory at any of the stores. Nobody wants to buy them. 

It does look like it’s supposed to be there.

Get over it? No. Manuals belong on sports cars. It is all about engagement, the connection between driver and machine and the joy of driving. Automatics or pushing buttons is not driving a car. End. There is no rebuttal, there is no continuing the conversation...END.

Wait... Can’t tune is a complaint about the C8? Every generation before has been the same, you need hardware not software, why would this all of a sudden be an issue?

Excuse me, but your erection is showing in your middle console.

The real issue is that I’m aware of only one MR vehicle with a stick, the 718, and that tranny can’t even come close to handling the torque in the Vette.

Sexy mid-engine sports car with an American small block and manual transaxle? I guess it’s back to Panteras for me then.

I have 2 manuals already, I think real talk, that I would accept a DCT as my next performance car.  

To the Chevy SS!

I don’t even care anymore.  Mid-engine n/a V8 in the back and not 6 figures was the wishlist, and Santa delivered.

We’ll I’ll just take my $60K+ elsewhere! Just kidding, I’m poor.

Call me when they string two of them together, tie it to a Brazilian bank vault, rip the vault through a concrete wall and then drag it through the streets of Rio.

Practical testing isn’t as marketable. Stunts are. It’s a pretty impressive stunt, especially to the layperson who knows little or nothing about rolling resistance.

Sure, that’s only 1 percent of what’s towed in this video, but it’s just more useful information that would matter to real-world customers.

Tell me about the strap. 

Curious to know what the G96 “Electronic Limited Slip” actually involves.

I’m curious, was the take rate on the manual C7's so low they dropped it entirely? I definitely feel like the MT would be a more popular option on it. Either that or GM is just sucking like GM does.

I’m excited for the 10" front wheels
