That could be a good reason to buy it, but on the other hand you can always teach her to drive a manual. I would not do it with a Z but you can always rent a manual for a day to teach her.

Yes, you do have a great wife.

But your grammar is seriously lacking.

If I was test driving a Z06, whether my wife could drive it would be the last thing that would pop into my head

Buy it. If she ends up not driving it, more miles for you.

Great wife you have and we had to get the A6 so mine could drive as she told me no way do I learn to drive a stick and with the 09 being a daily driver the A6 is a good thing

My wife can drive a stick, but she does not like to. I call that a blessing.

Congrats!!!! In my experience your wife will hardly drive YOUR car no matter what the Tranny is.

However if you enjoy it together (driving school) You will be extremely pleased.

Instead of picking on you QSZ06 has the ability to tell you what a fine car your buying and maybe stuff to watch out for....... Like a good citizen of CF.

Congrats Again!!!!!

probably shouldnt get a z06 though. Then again, you only live once...just don't want to take out anyone else when you are high on pain meds and keep your foot on the gas for 2 seconds too long, hitting 120mph and running a school bus off the road

why are some saying to get a Grand Sport instead? They may look similar but thats it. The Z06 is superior.
