My wife and I are taking early retirement in 4 years time and our plan is to spend our winters in Florida every year. The Corvette is going to be the car we take with us down there and so that's another big reason why I like the MPG that it gets.
That's also the reason I chose automatic on this one, so my wife could drive the Corvette as well, as there will probably be times on the trip down there where she'll do some driving duties, and plus once we're down there if she wants to pop out to the store for something she can do that too.
If I had a huge budget, I'd have a ZR1 with a manual trans and keep my current car for long trips. There are a lot of things about manual trans cars that I like and same with auto. It'll be a sad day in the future when Corvette owners no longer have a choice and are forced to only have automatic though.

Pat. I enjoy the A8 in my C7, and even more on long trips when you get into that inevitable traffic jam. I have an old 100K mile '06 Mustang GT with a manual that I use for daily duties, so I get my fun driving a manual with that car.
