I am with you, I have (2) of these theft deterrents a 2016 Z06 Convertible and a 2019 ZR1 coupe, & before the argument starts, I know the auto can shift faster, but to me the driving experience is with a manual.

Yeah, I know autos are slightly faster but I didn't get the car to race, I got it to enjoy. And I enjoy the manuals MUCH more. 'At's why I'll not get a C8

Had my share of automatic and manual cars. I can have fun driving either transmission type.

Again more internet bs......
Thieves do this for a living....of course they can drive a stick.
The numbers seem to support the idea, but remember there are so few manual cars on the road. And it's not THAT hard to drive one. Get it moving & your gone.
