This BS that a real man must drive a manual is just that, BS. We use our Corvettes for long road trips, and of course the beautiful day cruise.

Now, do I like driving a manual, you bet. I have one in DD Mustang GT, but that car will never go on a long road trip. It has nothing to do with the size of your testicles (forgive me Lisa :) ). It's about what you want. I suggest you drive an auto C7 before you decide. That's the only way for you to make the right decision for yourself.

I agree with you, that's why I laughed so hard at that post.
I've had both, and let me tell you, one of the best sounds is the auto at WOT. Hearing that bark is pure heaven! |
For me over 600 hp I go auto. Under 600 hp stick.

Traded a manual for an auto, and was a key option. No right answer here and I hated to give up the manual, until I drove the A8.
Love the connection of a manual transmission, but I love driving the car more and in traffic the auto is a winner. I bought my car to drive on a regular basis and the A8 is actually a great match... /r Allen |
Manual
Wife and I both love the manual. She’s a modern day Norwegian shield maiden I guess
manuals till not driving anymore we are both 70 now |
With the rev match feature and hill start assist, the M7 is basically an automatic that happens to have 3rd pedal!

I'm sure this has been beaten to death but here goes. We are looking at a 2019 vert purchase. Our last 2 vettes were manual transmissions. For those that have gone to autos, do you have any regrets. Did you go back to a stick? Getting older and thinking ahead.:leaving:

One what? A lucky man married to a tall blue eyed Swede that grew up on the farm driving manuals? Who believes sports cars are manuals. Yep I'm that "one". It's ok, there's such a thing as beta females too.
A true man doesn't rely on his transmission for sexual validity, nor does he need to put down anyone for their choices (whatever their reasons). BTW, I have always driven manuals, and I probably have more miles on a manual Corvette than 90% of the folks here (of either sex), and it doesn't mean shit. |

Do you think you may have overestimated the effect of rev match and hill start assist on the art of shifting? |

I prefer the M7 and test drove both before deciding, suggest you do the same and go with what you like best. Many reasons for choosing one or the other the important and smart decision is your choice of the Corvette.

..Rev Match and Hill Assist aren't automatic transmissions. That's just nutty. :crazy: |

It's frustrating to see manuals disappearing from the modern car scene. One could offer a hundred reasons why but really I think it has in part to do with newer generations hitting the EZ button. |
