They do sell an adapter for the 05 only since the 05 shifter is actually from the C5. Problem is it makes it stick up much higher. I am looking into the 06 and up

Strange comment. Why be defense about choosing an auto transmission? Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Try just changing the silver cap, you can get it painted to match or APSIS has a carbon fiber one.

Default Love the A6

I can't believe the General will not build a Z car with an automatic. Was at the dealer not long ago for a state inspection. Owner invited me to drive a AO Z06. I sat in it and worked the shifter and it was very nice I must admit. After much gnashing of teeth I still prefer an automatic. Just MHO.

you know I just bought my first Corvette,CRM A6 with all the goodies. I drove the stick and I felt 20 again, however,I elected to get the automatic. It works well for my kind of driving. I personallly think it's the best of both worlds. My car (CRM) won't be home until march 15th and I really can't wait. This is just crazy, I'm like a kid at Xmas waiting for his(or her's ) first bicycle. Are we all just kids at heart?
