" just as important to us die-hards, last year for the manual..."
Yep. I guess I'd say I'm on 'transmission lock-out' over that issue.
Just love the C8, waiting forever on the mid. Actually lost sleep after the debut, pull the trigger yes/no?
No. It will take some time to sink in. After all the hoopla, it doesn't look 'vettish' enough. No stick.
Felt the same way on the C4, no manual(Cali. 1st yr), feet don't fit, goofy big window/hatch, sales dude actually said no room for the clutch pedal. Shined it all. Just kept the '76 dd. All that 'new' looked too weird.
Then came the ZR1. A C8 is in the future...'second mouse gets the cheese'. haha
I would love to have a '19GS, loved those C4LT4GS's. That '19's a beaut. Plastico Fantastico.
Stay Safe.
