Default C6 -- 6 speed manual

I love the 6 speed. I don't do a lot of stop and go in town driving so I might change my attitude if I was forced to do much of that routine.

I've always liked the auto's but with a vette, a stick IS more fun. However, my current car, C6, vert, had to be auto because I almost got my knee/leg blown off in Iraq last year and since I wasn't sure if I'd be able to speed shift or not, I decided to buy the automatic. Rather than spend $60,000 and NOT be able to race it once in awhile, I opted for the auto but you know what? Its great and I've got no complaints(besides, who'd listen anyway, eh? lol).

Manual in my current ride, and would not consider anything except a manual when I place my vette order.

Since I consider the Corvette to be a sportscar, why would I consider anything but a manual? More fun and more control with a manual. In addition, it keeps the wife and kids from being able to drive it. Not that I would let them anyway!
