Z06 manual transmission

Just taking one glance at the specs sheet for the new Z06 screams promise as the new engine screams to redline. That reduces mass in the engine, allowing it to rev higher and more freely, as well as a very unique sound. Unfortunately, the only transmission option for the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is an 8-speed dual-clutch unit. Rs do not have DCTs. They have sequential gear boxes. I have owned 11 Vetter over the years.

No third pedal means no new Vette for me. The C8 is a great car but a nonstarter for me with only 2 pedals. Track times are irrelevant to me as I have never and will never track it. If the new C8 ZO6 is offered with a manual I am ready to place my order now.

I hope the boys and girls at the Chevy asylum come to their senses. I have owned muscle-cars with manuals and automatic transmissions. I currently own a C6 GS with a manual transmission. It is my opinion that the majority of Corvette owners have them for pleasure and not as daily drivers. The only exception that would make me consider an automatic in a Corvette would be if I lived in a densely populated area with lots of stop and start driving.

I never cared for the C7, however I would definitely consider purchasing a C8 if it were offered with a manual transmission. About Us Advertise Subscribe Now! Sign in. Log into your account.
