You can't get a non Z06 Corvette with a manual??

[WinkOsmosis]

According to Edmund's you can't. Wtf???

Edit: It shows manual as an option on the specs page, but the gas mileage they show for the manual is the same as the Z06, so I don't know if that's what they mean.

I don't know about edmund's but my local Chevy dealership has a couple of Corvettes (non Z06) that have manual trans sitting in the showroom

This is absolutely not the case. It is true, however, that most Corvettes sold have automatics, which says a lot to me about their fan base.

Apparently, it comes standard with the automatic and the 6-speed manual is an option. Edmund's lists it at just over $900 in the "Price with Options" page.

People should be forced to learn how to drive manual.

I think 70-80% of Vettes come with automatics.

Amen.


On another note, the automatic comes standard, fool. You can choose a manual if you want one.

Look under Transmissions

I regard that as a sad state of affairs . . . I think it is unfortunate that America's most famous sports car comes with an automatic.

Blame 45-50 year old guys going through midlife crisis who are too fat and lazy to drive an stick, the way a vette is supposed to be driven.

I agree. The manual should at least be a zero-cost option. The 'Vette is a driver's car and GM should treat it that way.

I asked atMercedes dealership about a C230 Kompressor Sport, and they told me that they only get autos. For a manual, you have to "special order," which in practice means you pay what they ask for. I think they know they wouldn't sell. If they just wanted to inflate the price, they can do it very well with the many other optional packages.
