corvette build quality reminds me of the first hyundai pony cars that were imported to North America. Just crap and fell apart in no time. I have never heard so many rattles in any one car.
auto?? Haha figures.... Whats up with senior citizens and automatics?? They grew up during the best era for automobiles late 50s-70's, also known as the muscle car era... Now obviously there were automatics back then, but the majority drove stick or at least knew how.. I guess the older you get it becomes more about convenience, but at the same time I personally feel Im in more control of the vehicle when driving a manual vehicle because I can downshift to help slow down or vice versa.. sigh...
@Musclecarfever13...NO...there's no excuse...this is a corvette...if your gonna switch to automatic...go buy a fucking shitty ass camery or one of those hyundai's...I'm sorry but anything muscle should be 100% manuel...there ain't no fun in gay ass automatics...I'm 21 and I learned how to drive on a standard trans when I was 11...never driven an auto since...plus corvettes are RAW POWER...I can drive manuel in any situation...if you can't...tough shit...learn...
@Mrkoolaidman90 I agree, not only that, but convertibles on a vette is fuckin' gay as hell. I always said, I didn't really consider a Vette a true Vette unless it was a Z06 or ZR1.
Haha... if General Cody's so overwhelmed by how Chevy makes its 'vettes, he should head to Germany or Italy and check their top of the line vehicles. He'd probably pass out.
I have an automatic as my wife will not learn to use a manual. I was sorry at first but after many competitive maneuvers and years of driving LOVE IT! Illegal, you sound an awful lot like a secret mustang driver
except a impossibly fast shifting autotranny with paddle shifters that allow you to ACTUALLY get all the performance out of a car instead of just wondering how much faster it would be if you could only shift faster. MTs are outdated, outmodded and just plain useless to current performance driving.
why? they are just as light, shift faster than a MT and ARE faster...guys like you are stuck in the past where thinking is "Only real men drive sticks". nowadays that should read "only stupid SLOWER men drive sticks".
This is true to an extent. Not every automaker has perfected the AT to a point to where it shifts faster than manual..but it is getting to a point where a few of manufactures have done just that. Give it some time and AT will be, hands down, the fastest gear changer.
he used Chinese money to buy a Corvette...

why did you choose an auto?
pootietang420 2 years ago
the automatic transmissions that come in these corvettes were built for launching and are obviously faster than a manual.

I have a c6 auto and love it. Since you are such a expert on cars, how much slower is it to a manual c6?
blk2kss 2 years ago
it isn't at all slower than an MT. it is most likely a little faster.

as painful as it is to use "Corvette" and "illegal" in the same sentence, there's NOTHING like a manual!!!
