My 99 was an auto. My 2016 is a manual and a lot more fun to drive. I will say that living in an area where traffic is bearable makes a difference.

All 4 Corvettes I've had were manuals.

One of three of my Corvettes was a slush box and regretted it every time I turned the ignition key. The only auto I've had since the '60s.

I currently drive a people mover Honda for that very reason. Time will tell if and what car I get.
This town is the same way. I don't even drive the Corvette to work anymore because of where I have to park. People don't care...

I dunno, my shark had a Muncie, 336 rear, and up north, I just went from 2nd to 4th in traffic.....3rd hardly ever saw any use, 1st saw much more but only on a hill.....

Down here I need an O/D cheapest way was my 1500 buck 200 4r that I built using all the aftermarket parts/kits and it learned how to SHIFT......so in fact it's more fun than the stick shift NOW......

Bad Luck Brian aka GM; Contrasting normal ops and makes very cool car, workers go on strike.

It's been what, four weeks now. How much longer will GM/UAW keep rejecting offers from each other?

Simple fix: Pull key, wait 10 seconds.
