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

Don't know that it is any more dependable than the rest but the best looking, Fo-Show!
