I am in the market for a Z06 and want to see if I like the a8 transmission. The problem I'm running into is the only dealer with a Z will not let people test drive the cars.. even with a C6Z title in hand. If the base a8 is essentially the same I'll just go test drive one and make a decision from there.

Thanks,

Brett

Clearly dealerships have so much money that they don't want to sell Z's.

Dealerships with too much money should be banned.

My understanding is its the same except for the torque converter. I have a A8 Z51 and my friends dad has a A8 Z06 ive driven his car and the Trans feels exactly the same. If you like the A8 in a stingray you will like it in the z06.

thanks! I'll go test drive a stingray then.

Realize that the A8 needs to break in and learn, so a brand new A8 will not perform the same as one which has been properly trained.

The A8 is awesome - my '16 Z51 now has 20,000 miles of smiles.

Give us your insights after your test drive..

I drove the 7 speed rev matching manual and liked it but I am intrigued by the improved performance of the A8...

Let us know if you dig the point and shoot the A8 offers...

I have to get my butt down to a dealer and test drive the A8 as well...maybe a few preowned examples would be a smarter move to test drive?
