Default C4 stick/auto ???

Checkin to see anyone knows what the ratio is of C4s that have sticks verses automatics, or about how many C4s had sticks

You mean read end gear ratios? I can tell you in '87 the auto got a Dana 36 with 2.59:1 standard, a 3.07:1 was optional. The manual got a stronger Dana 44 with 3.07 as standard.
Not sure if that was the story for the entire C4 run.

Roughly 75-80% automatic / 20-25% manual.

Don't know official numbers, but I'm pretty sure only 10-20% are manual.

it's fairly easy to calculate the percentages of manual transmissions vs total production for the C4 production run. using the "corvette black book," the total C4 production run was 358180 units, and of those 77395 were either 4+3 or 6-speed manuals. that comes to 21.61% of C4 production were equipped with manual transmissions. this is assuming that the production figures in the black book are correct, and I'm awake enough for a little old school math -

Wow!! Based on that list only 0.25% of the C4's made were 1995 Polo Green Metallic manual. Even smaller percentage of those have over 150k on the odometer. So, my car is really rare and should be worth at least Eleventy billion bucks.
