Are you two serious? You cab see the paddle poking out on the left side Iside closest to driver door). You don't see the paddle on the right because it is covered by the rim of the wheel. It's obviously an auto.

C'mon, man!

That is why the ZR1 should not have the current A8 in it.

The new ZR1 will have new CF parts including both doors. A new active aero will be interducrd for the first time using new way to generate downforce.

CF doors? How about rear hatch instead?
I doubt either will be. Arrow doesn't look too active either!

Wouldn't surprise me at all.
From the very beginning GM has been trying to hide the rear of the car.

Why, what's up? The A8 is a little different from what you're used to?

Shoot, if I had that attitude, I'd still be driving a '58 Chevy, rather than a ZO6.

Maybe you missed my thread title where I mention auto, in a post or two I even mentioned I believe it’s an auto. I started second guess myself when someone with a Z (which I’ve never come in contact with, or probably never will) say it could be a manual. Cmon man not everybody is fortunate to have vettes in their country.

Default You need to check and compare each gears terminal speed!

It allows them to keep engines in the narrow rpm zone which provides best economy.
The A8 is laughable! It is weaker than the M7. The A10 - No Way!
Tadge said all the A8 gears are closer ratio, Not!
Tadge probably hasn't wanted to slow down existing sales with his A10 comments!

The dash ball is some kind of positioning sensor to enable more speed!?

Bigger power down via the auto!? More time to be precisely on line? Tech they purposely left off the Camaro now!?

The ZL1 1LE is still a ZL1 by the way, the ZR1 is technically a different car.

The ZL1 is the street car... A10 auto is option.
The ZL1 1LE is the track car... no auto offered

Right, but it’s still a ZL1 ... my post was indicating this is a different scenario because this Car we are seeing is not a Z06 unless GM made ZR1 wheels just to trick us.

Default Again! ;)

Originally there was a listed DOHC SDI motor, but, it was unlisted, and wasn't heard from on track testing.
A ZL1 like SC bump was heard!
Market conditions change and are presently particularly weak.
Like the ZL1 LT4 bump a smaller LT5 750 HP bump wouldn't necessarily constitute anything but a Z07!
The ZR1 aspect is still significantly vague and inconclusive!

Significant New Technology, and Speed!?

Given this comparo, the ZR1 should at least walk the GT R

Don't know about weight difference between the 2 and can't tell what stage aero is on the Z, but The M7 car will always be slower than a quick paddleshifter.

If you look closely you can see a left paddle by the persons hand, there is someone in the car that they photoshopped out, also explains why it isnt in park if there is someone in the car.

Just look at Audi, Porsche, BMW, Lamborghini, etc.
Exterior looks awesome!
Hope it can put the power down.
Maybe more like mine?

My M7 '15 Z06 has 2 Rev Match paddles on the steering wheel, one on the left and one on the right. Point is, 2 paddles do not guarantee you're right in your assertion that it's an automatic.
