Paddle Shift on Z06

Never say never...BUT why?

Of course I meant say to include it as an option. I have a bad left leg so shifting is a real effort. There's others I'm sure who aren't up to clutching all day either. But my last manual was a '95 Dodge Viper. The Vette may be a whole different world.

================ UNFORTUNATELY .... I am getting to the same point...on some days I am already there....

I now own 5 Corvettes and drive a little Dodge Dakota every day...all of the vehicles are manuals except one of the Corvettes (a 79) The truck will be replaced by an automatic ...BUT to be honest I still have no desire to buy a Corvette with an automatic simply because I "think" ...but do not know...if I could REALLY enjoy driving one (and by driving I mean...HARD !

Bitch to get old...its to the point where if somethng on my body does not hurt I have not used it...

The Viper was ALOT more fun to *drive* but a pain to "commute" with. For a year and a half it was my only car so I had no options. Now my second car is a Saturn so IMO I still only have one car. :) Also being that my wife doesn't know or want to know how to shift I have to do all the driving so the paddle shift is an "unhappy medium.:)

IMO the automatic Vette is not much fun unless you drop it into lower gears. That's why I like the paddle shift option. But in practice will I use it?

The right solution would be to get out of condo living, buy a house and have several cars. I just hope I'll have the time to enjoy it. Boy it must be great to be born into big money! :)

True that the manual shift forces you to have fun. Hmmmmm. Now you've got me thinking... :)
