It is funny, cause just a week ago, I announced my regret for getting another auto, then today I got stuck in two hours of stop and go traffic, and remembered all again why I went the way I did!

But my Trans & Clulch Did not like it at all . 
Yes i went thure a lot of them . So I put a two speed Auto in her . Ran the same times ... An did not brake
So I see in time G M will put Auto them in all the corvettes .
The more power you have the harder it is t control . All the way around .
I know you think you good at shifting but in time it will show
And for the Clulch the heat that comes of the flywheel . We had holes in the Steel bell houseing for the heat to get out 
I will tell you that I love the new 6 Speed Auto . And all of the Clulch & Flywheel Is in back . You will come out of the Hole Better . In The snow two

I think some full parameter dyno/track tuning of both the trans and the motor on an otherwise stock A6 C6 would make a world of difference.
