Welcome to the Z M7 Club, I drove a auto Z before I ordered mine, did not like, M7 for me, & when I get to bad off to shift, I will be giving up the Vette.

I really like the painted panels!! Also, what do you say about the HP bump?? Was it just the tranny that made you switch or did the power play a role in your choice to change?

Beautiful car and a very nice upgrade.

Both. I had two C6 Z06’s. Missed some power

Love this car. I’ve had many high bhp cars, but this is the best

Body color vents are an interesting look. I don't think I have seen them before in white.

Regarding the paddles, I don't think they are a substitute for the manual experience. I've got the A8, but I just leave it in drive and don't try to outguess its decisions. I would drive an M7, but my right elbow and left knee told me to give up manual transmissions after a certain age.

Enjoy!

My A8 stays in "D" I want to shift I take the M7! Don't like the paddles!

For a number of years, had 2 C6’s, both maggie supercharged, one with a manual and the other an auto. Had the best of both worlds and depending on my mood and expected traffic etc, I would choose which to drive.

Then one day I woke up and said to myself, although the manual vette is fun, after you’re done playing and just wanna cruise, you’re stuck pushing that clutch in & out till the cows come home and their is no relief. Basically it becomes a chore. So eventually I said F- - - this and am now happily driving just a stock 2014 C7 A6 waiting a little longer till GM hopefully finally figures out the A8 issues and going to a C7 Z06 A8.

From time to time I get selective fantasy recall and think maybe it would be fun to go back to a manual, conveniently forgetting what a pain in the rear the manual becomes when you’re thru playing. Usually, I quickly remind myself why I got rid of the manual, and go back to being thankful I have the ease of driving an auto and still a lot of fun with the paddles.

Hey on the bright side for us full auto converts, Tadge says the ZR1 will have improved faster auto paddle shifting that will filter down to the other C7 models. If that is so, maybe my next move will be to a 2019 Z06 A8 after the A8 tranny “ Filtering from the ZR1” has taken place.

I'm thinking they would be incorporating the 10spd in lieu of the 8spd. No ?

Unfortunately, Tadge continues to say the A10 that works great in the camaro just won’t fit into the C7. Sure would be nice if it would.

You found a leftover 2016? I haven't been looking for a leftover but then again,I haven't seen any listed either. Very nice!
