How wrong you are. This would spark sales of the Z. Especially in big city markets. Come on out to Chicago around 4 today with your stick and see how great it is.

Exactly!
Chevy wants to sell more cars and the Z06 would be more profitable!
To the Grandma comment... Some of us still do go on dates! Who needs to worry about a stick shift at that point in time.
We will be lucky if they are still producing Corvettes at all by next year, especially with all the sports car hating liberals in charge of the General.
What GM says now and what happens in 60 days might be a much different picture. My guess is that more drastic measures will be taken than now announced up until today. GM will barely have enough money to make it to the next 60 days (funded by the gov't). Some form of bankruptcy is almost certain and any surviving parts of GM will be under the watchful eye of the gov't. Any hint of money going towards high performance cars, Nascar and racing sponsership, etc will not go over well with the gov't watchers. I think the best hope for the survival of the Corvette would be a full closurer of Bowling Green and the line consolidated in another plant somewhere once things settle down and GM shows signs of once again making money.
As far as the announcement of the 2010 Corvette, that is simply a matter of "business continuing" until otherwise directed. Not everything stops - planning of new models, ongoing engineering, etc. because the company is in trouble, but none of the announcements should be taken as set in cement.
