YES is up by 8 votes! 
It will be a glorious site to see the "NO" voters have to become indentured servants to all the YES voters.
ABS said he would run naked through the streets of Phoenix if the YES votes win. Looks like he better fly his plane over to Sky Harbor to pay up on his bet...

I just don't understand why people would argue over this
If you want an auto in a Z you can have one put in. There is at least one guy on here that has done it and is very happy.
If you want a manual just keep it the way GM built it.
You have a choice people

Secondly, one would have to go to Indiana to have this done. Since RPM is the most reputable vendor who does this retrofit.
Thirdly, the cost. You are looking at a $8k bill for this. Lastly, if you ever have an issue, you would have to go back to Indiana.

The main reason is that your powertrain warranty will be voided if you retrofitted an automatic into a Z06. I don't doubt one bit that GM will void your engine and differential warranty. Of course the trans void would be a given.

Remember a couple years back when everyone here was clamoring for a better interior? Well,GM made the 4LT and the first thing folks here did was bitch about it for a myriad of reasons.
If GM produced an auto Z06,people would just come up with a different excuse not to buy one.

That is why GM made the GS. Sports cars (aka ZO6 and ZR1) are meant to have manuals.
