the thing is... it's what i'd call computer assisted manual... Basicly... you put the shifter down to the bottom (forgot the letter) and the paddels are activated... all it does is rev the engine real high like in a manual... But it won't let you shift too early or if you forget to shift it does it for you... My dad was un-impressed w/ it and he's a semi-avid sports car guy.


but C6 corevette... 400 HP stock from factory.. it's a NICE car
The Z06 will have a similer system to the type used in F1 cars, where there is a computer controled clutch, not the auto with paddles like used in the C6. It is more a standard trans with an auto option, where the GTP/C6 has an auto with a shift option. That will be the only auto offered in the Z06.
