I traded in my 2017 AW GS A8 on the spur of the moment last Sunday for this 2017 Watkins Glen Gray M7, Z06. I got an unbelievable deal from my local dealer. I liked the A8 but didn't like only being able to shift in manual mode with the paddles....... I like using the shifter. The Z06 is an AWESOME car, I will NEVER use the power that it has but that is OK....... with the M7, it is like a whole different driving experience. I already swapped out the CUP2 tires for the MPSS's.....much better. All of my previous 6 Corvettes were manuals and I loved them. I would consider an auto again if they went to a dual clutch that uses the shifter OR paddles...... the current auto is not up to the level of the rest of the car IMHO.

Congrats BUD MAN ,Seeing a lot of people leaving their A8 C7'S for M7 C7'S lately.
Only bad thing about a m7 is you have too flush the clutch fluid about 2 times a year our 13 427 was crazy bad about this. Clutch Pedal stuck too floor. C7s doing same thing.

what are you talking about? I DD my M7 and I have over 17k miles in my car and I've never had any problem with the clutch.

I had to do that all the time in my c5. But the Hydraulic system is way better in my c7. 17kish miles, clear as the day it came home.

Swapped GS for Z06
Congratulations that is one great upgrade and I agree with you on your opinions regarding the auto transmission. Enjoy your beast.
