I have the 3LT package - went with the auto tranny because I was not sure how long my knees will hold out - I use the paddle shifters 80% of the time, but do occasionally wish I had stick - but still the best compromise for an old geezer.
I like torturing myself. I couldn't bring myself to get another Vette after 50 years without a manual. Arthritis be damned!

Oh I know...I seriously thought about a manual when I got the C6. When I was totally honest with myself I knew an auto was the right choice for me.

I agree, not much better than a C6 vert.

I'm partial to my C3 vert as well!

If I didn't already have my old school muscle Firebird (sentimental), this is what I would have bought and is my fav gen. But for a second toy I wanted the modern power, handling, technology, and fun factor that the C6 provides and is just as sexy as the C3 IMHO.

I wanted the best C6 Convertible I could get, so I bought a 2013 427 in Night Race Blue. I couldn't be happier.
