paddle shifters for me are just a track toy that keep your hands on the wheel for serious time attack shit not saying you cant go just as fast with the stick...on the street i like to chirp some gears! and driving a stick is always better and makes you a better driver...ferrari bring back the gated six speeds please! sick car ill take any trans you wanna give...vettes r the best

An automatic transmission in a Corvette is not the same as an automatic transmission in a Honda Civic. You have the option, if you wish, to use the paddle shifters. This is the same type of technology that's in brand new Ferraris. You have a choice, and if you happen to be driving through heavier traffic, it's convenient to use the automatic transmission.
@ShahollariB I hear ya. The poor bastard probably has a V6 firebird. Bottom line is we all have different tastes. Acting like a dick because someone doesn't see it your way screams of insecurity, and in this case, probably jealously. I'm loving my vette, too bad I'll have to garage it soon with winter coming.
@QBNZ hah ok, real man, explain to me then why do you feel the need to convince someone over youtube (who you don't even know) of your manliness? My comment struck a chord? :D The part where you asked me to believe you cracked me up hehe :)
@VladBlok28 Dude you just answered your own question with a question haha. Why are you trying to convince people that real men drive manuals... I guess you're a lady :pppppppppp
@QBNZ You are cute. I wasn't even that serious when i wrote that but i guess you are just too sensitive about the subject, real man. Don't worry i won't make fun of you anymore ;)
That was more like 3.9!!!! If you watch the video, he revs the car first before the odometer even moved. Count from the time the needle jumps on the right. Do the math, don't critique the Vette...!
@willymywonka Correct, when the c6 came out, the auto apocalypse began. Now I'm not sure if that number reflect z06 and zr1 sales as those are only available in a manual. I think the reason is the fact that the automatics became so good. They are very efficient, are just as quick as a manual(The dual clutches are actually quicker) and if you can't shift, then they are perfect for you. It's one less thing to worry about when driving and they are still a blast to drive.
@TheCarVlogger I've been around the block and I know the new auto's are very efficient. But their gearing sucks, and they usually come with a smaller ratio out back to, for good fuel mileage. If you can't shift then drive an auto civic.
@willymywonka I have an 08 automatic with the Z51 gearing and I think the gearing is pretty good for an auto. I've driven manuals my whole life. When I was looking for my vette it didn't matter to me whether it was an auto or manual. I ended up with an auto and am very happy with it. You think the gearing sucks, you're entitled to your opinion. Now for some facts....look up the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times comparisons for auto and manual 2008+ vettes, then tell me if the gearing still sucks
@ditttch I'm talking about more than just 0-60. From a highway roll the gearing sucks, and who would want to dive into a corner and have the auto change a gear? Doesn't sound like my kind of driving. Auto's aren't for sports cars.
@willymywonka There is a paddle shifter right on the steering wheel if you don't want the auto to handle the shifting when you're doing autocross, problem solved. The gearing from a highway roll is just fine too. My 6spd auto has the right gear if you want to roll from any speed. There is always a gear available at any given speed to get your right into the LS3's powerband. Autos are just fine in sports cars.
@willymywonka What ever happend to people minding their own business? If I want to spend $40k on a sports car with an automatic that is my business. If what I enjoy bothers you then you have problems. I own a 6spd auto vette and it is damn fast and fun to drive. I have no regrets about buying it. If you prefer manuals, fine, buy one. Apparently you're a bit insecure about those who don't agree with you...get over it, I like autos in sports cars.
@damovieman69 Damn that's some funny shit. So glad that isn't the most over-used comeback on youtube just because you know you're a puss. Have fun with your automatic..............Dildo.
@ditttch While you're right in what you're saying, its always been like this. In the world of car enthusiasts there has always been immaturity. It actually probably reached its peak in the late 60s.
90% of corvette buyers opt for the automatic. If only the manual sales were counted the corvette would be in big trouble. I drive a manual, but have nothing against an auto driver... Most of them have wives who drive their vette as well. A corvette is awesome no matter the setup in my opinion.
@IrishChris1979 I have had my share of days driving a stick and when I bought my corvette I decided it was time to just enjoy the cruise without the hassle of gear shifting. I enjoy my automatic because its less I have to deal with and worry about with my baby.
I cant stand 2 seater american cars or their "Muscle" cars. its almost a joke. Dont get me wrong they are good priced and have a little value but if you had the extra cash...go with Mercedes AMG or 7 Series BMW.
@DrGamble28 so you can have an overpriced pile of shit that can't make up it's mind whether it's a sports car or luxury car? i'll take my vette and wax you any day.
@cliffabrown Yes when I was a kid I loved my toys too. Lol my pile of shit that cant make up its mind if its a sports or luxury car? Your right...its both. Id probably have to agree! Its a 5 seat sport limo. I guess all my compliments on the road, people rolling down their windows to say its the most incredible car they have ever seen, the sound of a real engine ( not just cheap magnaflow exhaust to make it sound cute), world know S class freight train from hell...yea it sucks...
@DrGamble28 sorry, im not a yuppie that just likes to look cool, i actually enjoy going FAST.
I'll say it again: you think you're so cool in your expensive POS....UNTIL a vette (or skyline gt-r or porsche 911) comes along and walks the shit out of your slow luxury car that can only be sold at such a ridiculously high price because of its name.
i love seeing the look on yuppie's (like you) faces when i put bus-lengths on their AMG's that cost 5 times more than what i spent on my car.
@cliffabrown lol...POS s class Mercedes and 7 Series BMW. Im sure you have driven many of them...and I love how you compare S class Mercedes to Porsche, skylines (I hope that was a joke) and GTRs. You sure in the hell wont compare a E63 to your skyline or even a C63 to it would you? naahhhh. When you get a little older and get out of your rice rocket skyline years you will want a little different. I wonder why all these mega rich athletes, actors, doctors and lawyers choose the luxury cars.
@cliffabrown@cliffabrown lol the funny part is this whole back to back conversation got started by my simple polite comment. You had to fire back all but hurt and rude...of course looking at your profile now you are obviously biased. Im open to all cars, I even said they are a great value...however you seem to be a little to closed and shut in your rice rocket and dead american muscle cars. im not going to be replying anymore you have a way different taste in cars...you're prob not from CA
@DrGamble28 the start of your first post was "I cant stand 2 seater american cars or their "Muscle" cars. its almost a joke." don't even pretend like all you said about them was "they have good value."
i haven't been hurt in this conversation, i've just been wanting to make you have a moment of clarity to see how big of a yuppie douchebag you are. and in response to my taste in cars, i appreciate ANYTHING THAT'S FAST, not just luxurious 4 doors with powerful engines.
@DrGamble28 I can't stand it when someone can't make a fair/true comparison. Value priced American "supercars" vs. flagship 4 door luxury land barges? Thats like a Dodge Ram over a Prius... Nothing wrong with those cars, they just belong in a list with something like a Cadillac CTS-V... Which was the fastest production sedan around the Nurburgring.
@Beldar4214 Nurburgring the racetrack? Look up the fastest production sedans in the world and tell me whos up there. Ok and if you want a fair comparison then go with a C63.
@DrGamble28 It's not a joke when a ZR1 with a V8 beats a Lambo with 2 more cylinders. Enjoy your overpriced piece of shit that you can't even use everyday
These cars came with a 2.73 axle ratio. Combine that with 6k+ rpm and really 45mph isn't that tall for 1st gear. My 4r70w in my Mercury has a taller first gear ratio and same 2.73 gear ratios, it shifts at 47 at about 5k rpm.
@Beldar4214 It depends. The base auto comes with 2.56 gears and the Z51 package adds 2.73 gears. 1st gear of the 6L80 auto is 4.027 which helps the autos run a 4.3 0-60 and low 12s @ 115+ mph.
With that said, I want an 08 C6 A6 because with headers, it will run high 11s all day. There are a few guys running low 12s bone stock with 2008+ C6 autos with videos on here and 11s with just headers.
I'm surprised they make Corvettes in automatic. The Viper has always been manual only, as is the Z06. I guess there are some people who don't know how to drive a manual, so the Corvette comes with an automatic transmission to increase sales, even though the automatic transmission loses more horsepower.
Funny thing is my uncle owns a chevy dealer and only 25% vettes sold in america each year are manual.. the rest are auto! hahaha.. it gives corvette a bad rep. It truly is the car to go to if you have money and want a 2 seater.. my girl freinds step dad has a c6 and he doesnt know shit about cars couldnt even tell me his vette had a v8.. he worships my dad cuse he has a c6 thats a stick! He doesnt even know how to drive a stick!
When you come across Corvette owners who buy the car for the looks and the assumed prestige, specifically the one you mentioned who doesn't know how to drive a manual, you come across a potentially DANGEROUS driver. Corvettes are true performers, but can be very dangerous under the control of an inept driver. The torque that makes them fun can become dangerous if used without understanding. Thanks for your comment.
its probably because the main target of the corvettes sails are old retired men who need something to make them feel young. haha i hope thats not too harsh, but i feel its completely true.
@xcessivecc why, youll pay an arm and a leg at the dyno tuning and reprogramming your computer, not to mention the fortune youll pay to get that automatic beefed up,
when you could just have a manual t-56 borgwarner, no computer reprograming no transmissions exploding, just buy a better clutch
plus, you just cant match the feeling of shifting yourself
1. If you have 700+ rwhp you are tuning the car already.
2. It will shift faster than a human can
3. In my case I have twin turbos so I don't have to let go of the gas when I shift. In other words, I don't lose boost through the blow off valve which inturn gives me an extra boost when the transmission engages the new gear.
4. A car with alot of power gets very busy inside very quickly. Adding shifting to the equation, although more fun, is much more inconsistent.
5. It's actually cheaper when you consider that my built 6l80 Rossler transmission cost me about 2400. A good clutch will be a bit cheaper but will have to be replaced much more often.
There are probably quite a few other reasons I forgot to mention but, speaking from experience, stick shift cars are nice for some applications but when you are talking real power, auto is the only way to go. If you don't believe me look into any top fuel drag car... All auto.
Now, as for your stock daily driven vette... You could have more fun in a stick, but most of the middle aged bald corvette owners just can't drive... I think auto is a good choice for them... What's funny is that, because of the gearing, they will likely still beat the stick guys from a dig... I find that really funny.
@xcessivecc the best thing and the worst thing about automatics is they downshift, with a manual you can engine brake and you can drop down a gear when you slide through a corner or when some guy thinks he stands a chance on the highway, i dont know how long your shifter was but i can slam through the gears pretty fast, and my friend has something he calls a V-gate shifter and all he does is push a knob froward and back while working the clutch, mostly though autos are expensive
@xcessivecc i forgot to say, i have seen both applications used in cars 1500+hp though and automatics can work but they are more difficult to work with i.e. you change the cam in your motor and you need a new torque converter too
@deadfaithful I agree with part of what you are saying. I have only drag raced with automatics(99 GT and 87 Grand National) and I had to remove the torque converter to have it adjusted. It is a pain, but after a while, the trans is out in 45 minutes and most companies do the first 2 adjustments for free. The main advantage was with rear gears and a higher stall more efficient converter, I never lost to a stick car with similar power.
That was a slow shift and i don't believe was in competition mode. I have been in an 08 LS3 C6 auto the in S and competition mode and it barked the tires on the 1-2 shift.
Start the stopwatch when the MPH goes up. He launched it while on the brake, so that's why the RPMs went up before it moved. I got 4.1 and 4.14 on my stopwatch
@wally2714 well then the rpms catch ,the "flash" i think,on the torque converter i dont know its to close to tell accurately from looking at a speedo anyway. but the car moves before the speedo on any car on the planet.
@bigmax88 What the guy is doing is holding on the brake, revving it to the closest he can get to the stock stall converter before the car moves and lets go of the brake. It is a very fast car nevertheless and I test drove an 05 yellow one and was in awe. How can such an awesome handling car (close to 1.0 lateral G) be so comfortable and easy to drive?! No wonder it's on C&D's ten best for however many years in a row it has been!
I agree. It is the A6(6L80) strong as hell and geared to rock. It's been documented to run stock 4.3 to 60. A CAI, exhaust and tune and sub 4s are easy. hell, a converter can drop it in the 3s.
automatic?? really come on man!

90% of corvette buyers opt for the automatic. If only the manual sales were counted the corvette would be in big trouble. I drive a manual, but have nothing against an auto driver... Most of them have wives who drive their vette as well. A corvette is awesome no matter the setup in my opinion.

@IrishChris1979 I have had my share of days driving a stick and when I bought my corvette I decided it was time to just enjoy the cruise without the hassle of gear shifting. I enjoy my automatic because its less I have to deal with and worry about with my baby.

I cant stand 2 seater american cars or their "Muscle" cars. its almost a joke. Dont get me wrong they are good priced and have a little value but if you had the extra cash...go with Mercedes AMG or 7 Series BMW.

@DrGamble28 so you can have an overpriced pile of shit that can't make up it's mind whether it's a sports car or luxury car? i'll take my vette and wax you any day.

@cliffabrown Yes when I was a kid I loved my toys too. Lol my pile of shit that cant make up its mind if its a sports or luxury car? Your right...its both. Id probably have to agree! Its a 5 seat sport limo. I guess all my compliments on the road, people rolling down their windows to say its the most incredible car they have ever seen, the sound of a real engine ( not just cheap magnaflow exhaust to make it sound cute), world know S class freight train from hell...yea it sucks...
DrGamble28 1 year ago
@DrGamble28 sorry, im not a yuppie that just likes to look cool, i actually enjoy going FAST.
I'll say it again: you think you're so cool in your expensive POS....UNTIL a vette (or skyline gt-r or porsche 911) comes along and walks the shit out of your slow luxury car that can only be sold at such a ridiculously high price because of its name.
i love seeing the look on yuppie's (like you) faces when i put bus-lengths on their AMG's that cost 5 times more than what i spent on my car.
cliffabrown 1 year ago
@cliffabrown lol...POS s class Mercedes and 7 Series BMW. Im sure you have driven many of them...and I love how you compare S class Mercedes to Porsche, skylines (I hope that was a joke) and GTRs. You sure in the hell wont compare a E63 to your skyline or even a C63 to it would you? naahhhh. When you get a little older and get out of your rice rocket skyline years you will want a little different. I wonder why all these mega rich athletes, actors, doctors and lawyers choose the luxury cars.
DrGamble28 1 year ago
@DrGamble28 i've driven a 456gt before, have you ever been IN a ferrari?
btw, skyline = GTR, and yes i would compare them in a heartbeat, and yes the skyline is still way faster in a straight line and around a track.
and to answer your question, they choose those cars because they want something luxurious TO GET DRIVEN AROUND IN by their chauffeurs.

@cliffabrown @cliffabrown lol the funny part is this whole back to back conversation got started by my simple polite comment. You had to fire back all but hurt and rude...of course looking at your profile now you are obviously biased. Im open to all cars, I even said they are a great value...however you seem to be a little to closed and shut in your rice rocket and dead american muscle cars. im not going to be replying anymore you have a way different taste in cars...you're prob not from CA
DrGamble28 1 year ago
@DrGamble28 the start of your first post was "I cant stand 2 seater american cars or their "Muscle" cars. its almost a joke." don't even pretend like all you said about them was "they have good value."
i haven't been hurt in this conversation, i've just been wanting to make you have a moment of clarity to see how big of a yuppie douchebag you are. and in response to my taste in cars, i appreciate ANYTHING THAT'S FAST, not just luxurious 4 doors with powerful engines.

@DrGamble28 I can't stand it when someone can't make a fair/true comparison. Value priced American "supercars" vs. flagship 4 door luxury land barges? Thats like a Dodge Ram over a Prius... Nothing wrong with those cars, they just belong in a list with something like a Cadillac CTS-V... Which was the fastest production sedan around the Nurburgring.

These cars came with a 2.73 axle ratio. Combine that with 6k+ rpm and really 45mph isn't that tall for 1st gear. My 4r70w in my Mercury has a taller first gear ratio and same 2.73 gear ratios, it shifts at 47 at about 5k rpm.
Beldar4214 1 year ago
@Beldar4214 It depends. The base auto comes with 2.56 gears and the Z51 package adds 2.73 gears. 1st gear of the 6L80 auto is 4.027 which helps the autos run a 4.3 0-60 and low 12s @ 115+ mph.

I'm surprised they make Corvettes in automatic. The Viper has always been manual only, as is the Z06. I guess there are some people who don't know how to drive a manual, so the Corvette comes with an automatic transmission to increase sales, even though the automatic transmission loses more horsepower.
Danger555 2 years ago
Funny thing is my uncle owns a chevy dealer and only 25% vettes sold in america each year are manual.. the rest are auto! hahaha.. it gives corvette a bad rep. It truly is the car to go to if you have money and want a 2 seater.. my girl freinds step dad has a c6 and he doesnt know shit about cars couldnt even tell me his vette had a v8.. he worships my dad cuse he has a c6 thats a stick! He doesnt even know how to drive a stick!

@timmunn1
When you come across Corvette owners who buy the car for the looks and the assumed prestige, specifically the one you mentioned who doesn't know how to drive a manual, you come across a potentially DANGEROUS driver. Corvettes are true performers, but can be very dangerous under the control of an inept driver. The torque that makes them fun can become dangerous if used without understanding. Thanks for your comment.

deadfaithful 1 year ago
Automatic C6 Z51 vette is faster than stick 0-60 and 1/4 mile. 1st gear final ratio is much higher than stick even with the 2.71 rear end.
Also, if you are planning on going fast... 700+rwhp... you go auto. period.
xcessivecc 1 year ago
@xcessivecc why, youll pay an arm and a leg at the dyno tuning and reprogramming your computer, not to mention the fortune youll pay to get that automatic beefed up,
when you could just have a manual t-56 borgwarner, no computer reprograming no transmissions exploding, just buy a better clutch
plus, you just cant match the feeling of shifting yourself
deadfaithful 1 year ago
@deadfaithful well there are various reasons:
1. If you have 700+ rwhp you are tuning the car already.
2. It will shift faster than a human can
3. In my case I have twin turbos so I don't have to let go of the gas when I shift. In other words, I don't lose boost through the blow off valve which inturn gives me an extra boost when the transmission engages the new gear.
xcessivecc 1 year ago
@xcessivecc
4. A car with alot of power gets very busy inside very quickly. Adding shifting to the equation, although more fun, is much more inconsistent.
5. It's actually cheaper when you consider that my built 6l80 Rossler transmission cost me about 2400. A good clutch will be a bit cheaper but will have to be replaced much more often.
6. Torque converters ftw.
7. Transbrake. Ftmfw.
xcessivecc 1 year ago
@xcessivecc
There are probably quite a few other reasons I forgot to mention but, speaking from experience, stick shift cars are nice for some applications but when you are talking real power, auto is the only way to go. If you don't believe me look into any top fuel drag car... All auto.
xcessivecc 1 year ago
@xcessivecc
Now, as for your stock daily driven vette... You could have more fun in a stick, but most of the middle aged bald corvette owners just can't drive... I think auto is a good choice for them... What's funny is that, because of the gearing, they will likely still beat the stick guys from a dig... I find that really funny.
xcessivecc 1 year ago
@xcessivecc the best thing and the worst thing about automatics is they downshift, with a manual you can engine brake and you can drop down a gear when you slide through a corner or when some guy thinks he stands a chance on the highway, i dont know how long your shifter was but i can slam through the gears pretty fast, and my friend has something he calls a V-gate shifter and all he does is push a knob froward and back while working the clutch, mostly though autos are expensive
deadfaithful 1 year ago
@xcessivecc i forgot to say, i have seen both applications used in cars 1500+hp though and automatics can work but they are more difficult to work with i.e. you change the cam in your motor and you need a new torque converter too
deadfaithful 1 year ago
@deadfaithful I agree with part of what you are saying. I have only drag raced with automatics(99 GT and 87 Grand National) and I had to remove the torque converter to have it adjusted. It is a pain, but after a while, the trans is out in 45 minutes and most companies do the first 2 adjustments for free. The main advantage was with rear gears and a higher stall more efficient converter, I never lost to a stick car with similar power.
Marc99GT 1 year ago
That was a slow shift and i don't believe was in competition mode. I have been in an 08 LS3 C6 auto the in S and competition mode and it barked the tires on the 1-2 shift.

Start the stopwatch when the MPH goes up. He launched it while on the brake, so that's why the RPMs went up before it moved. I got 4.1 and 4.14 on my stopwatch
wally2714 2 years ago
@bigmax88 I think you're starting your stop watch a little early. I got 4.1 from the time the Speedometer moves, not when the RPMs move.

@wally2714 im starting when the rpms catch , as if the clutch has been released and the car is moving.

@bigmax88 There is no clutch. It is an automatic.
wally2714 1 year ago
@wally2714 well then the rpms catch ,the "flash" i think,on the torque converter i dont know its to close to tell accurately from looking at a speedo anyway. but the car moves before the speedo on any car on the planet.
bigmax88 1 year ago
@bigmax88 What the guy is doing is holding on the brake, revving it to the closest he can get to the stock stall converter before the car moves and lets go of the brake. It is a very fast car nevertheless and I test drove an 05 yellow one and was in awe. How can such an awesome handling car (close to 1.0 lateral G) be so comfortable and easy to drive?! No wonder it's on C&D's ten best for however many years in a row it has been!

I agree. It is the A6(6L80) strong as hell and geared to rock. It's been documented to run stock 4.3 to 60. A CAI, exhaust and tune and sub 4s are easy. hell, a converter can drop it in the 3s.
