Just got back home from Vegas and cannot wait for tomorrow morning. Trying to catch up on all the post I have missed since Friday, but it looks as if it will have an auto trans from a few post I have read? This kicks ***!

That's a dead giveaway that there will be an 8 speed auto in the Z06.

It just happened that I will be up all night getting caught up with work.

At 9:30 AM EST, I will be in my office watching the countdown to the reveal.

11:00 AM, I will be on my way to the dealership to confirm / solidify my order for the Z06.

Yeah, poor you, 15, can eat anything you want and not be fat, can play basketball on a cement court for 8 hours and not be sore the next day, pretty girls all around waiting for you to connive their panties off in an era of selfies and sexting, can do just about anything other than murder a teacher and not go to jail, not even remotely anywhere near your physical or mental decline, can sleep 10 hours straight without having to get up to pee or be disturbed by sleep apnea, and your whole friggin' life is in front of you. Wanna trade to be 46?!?!?!?!

What if the "big surprise" is that HE IS sitting in the driver's seat when they lift the satin cover?

and counting! Still dont see the problem with the auto... its been working well up until now and finally people can buy a "z06" with an auto.

Just be glad they still offer options given all the anti-torque converter and DCT-only police roaming the boards.

I understand the sentiment not to have an auto in the Z06, I was the same way about the GT3. At least the Corvette still has a manual option unlike Porsche. But from a numbers standpoint it makes sense. The average age of Corvette buyers is up there. A lot of guys just don't want to row gears, and more Corvettes of any sort will be at show and shine than the track. So it makes sense from that perspective too.

Not saying I support it, but it is a smart move by GM.

If he was to come out of a car I'm pretty sure it would be one of Italians finest, not Chevys finest:
