Also, it is listed as an optional transmission under "standard and optional."

For the record dude we were all just bustin' on ya, this is pretty much OLD news among those who frequent these forums and follow the upcoming model year changes to our favorite cars. Don't feel bad though, this ridiculing happens to almost everyone that posts something obvious or that was previously posted mutiple times before LOL.

This is the same method employed in my wife's MINI Cooper. I was hoping Corvette would take the approcah of the Ferrari and others, whcih use a right side paddle for up shift and the left paddle for a down shift.

You sure it's push to upshift and pull to downshift?
That seems backward to me, but what do I know?
My daughter's Mini Cooper S auto arrives in a few weeks, and we'll see!
