Gotta hold onto these cars!

Next halo sports cars, such as the Supra and mid-engined 'Vette, are all probably going to be auto/DCT.

I have a rare combo: 3LT trim with the Z51 package:



I'm not sure if it was a manufacturer mix-up but I have a suede shift *** + leather steering wheel combo:

No, it doesn't. I haven't owned an automatic since my 1072 Ford Econoline van.

I haven't driven an automatic since 1970 and won't until I have to. Then, I probably won't enjoy it.

An A8 might surprise you, I always preferred a stick, my DD is manual, now love my A8.
Yellow and spice red, that's not a color combo you see everyday. Did you order it, or purchase off a lot?

Manual transmission required in order to control the pitch of the pipe music coming out the back of the car. If the driver wants to hear it, convertible top has to be down.

I truly love going through the gears. I wanted yellow but vowed never to have another car with a black interior. Didn't like any of the other colors available, so Spice Red it was!!

My 2015 base M7 vert. Highest fun factor IMHO. If the C8 doesn't have both, its a no go for me.

Luckily I found a used 2016 Z06 M7 locally this summer. They are as rare as hens' teeth round here. Loving every minute with it.
