is the little chrome clips attached to the console where the seat belts attach when not in use.

I was browsing through the C7 forums and was struck by all the useless threads. What is driving so many posters to post dumb threads?

Assume folks have heard enough issues with the A8 they are going with the lower cost and very reliable Tremic M7!

I got the same story from most every Chevy dealer I checked with, " we don't order manuals for inventory as they sit on our lots too long".

.. Defending why they didn't buy a manual is hilarious to hear. I think some never learned how to drive one is why, to be honest with you.

Me too. Considering the small percentage of Z06s that make up all C7s, it almost seems like most of them are for sale!
When we had Corvettes in the 1960's it was virtually unheard of to own one with an automatic. In fact I never knew a guy around here who owned an auto Vette. Back then, only wives Corvettes were auto's. Things have changed I guess, except my Z51 is still a M7.

I'm not defending why I didn't buy a manual, been driving manuals for 45 years, most all of my Corvettes have been manuals, and my co-daily driver is a manual. As stated above I looked for a manual but couldn't find one with all the other features I wanted.
But glad I got the A8, as it's a nice change of pace and it's shifts so much faster than the M7.

They had no Z51s as they have not had for a few years. Today the Grand Sport is preferred for not much more money if you want MRC.
Of the base car, 17 M7s out of 44. Again over 35% much more than they had in the past.
Didn’t look at Verts or Z06.

I just counted Grand Sport Coupes and 23 out of 60 were M7s. That is what I looked at the other day, their big seller (as well as GMs.).

It may have something to do with the rumors that the manual trans will not be offered for the C8, thus Kerbeck may be beefing up their supply of C7 M7s for those who want to grab one of the last Corvette manuals before they're gone.
