I wonder who's the oldest person here driving a MN6 vette. Seems as we get older we may prefer an auto.

Road Rage

42 and I just went from A6 to M6, like the days of my youth.

64 and everything I drive is a stick

What you mean "we" Kemo Sabe?

71 and I wouldn't settle for anything less than a manual transmission in a sports car with an internal combustion engine if the only option is a torque converter automatic.

Road Rage

LOL, that's old school right there.

Vette5.5

Dont think age has much to do with it, unless your knees are going or something. Guess it just depends on what your used to. I have several cars, some auto, some manual, and just hop behind the wheel and drive them without giving it a thought. Know several guys in their 60's driving manuals. One has a 65' 396 Vette with manual steering and brakes. Lots of older bikers out there too, and these are even more difficult to operate.

Sorry Kingfish

Why you call Tonto "Kingfish"?

55 and piloting a 650rwhp C6 with M6. Life's too short to not do your own shifting. Might be different if I had to get around in city traffic with a bad left knee.....Thankfully not the case.

I too am thankful that the knees work well. 68, well on my way to 69 (Uh, where did the time go?) and only a "stick" for me. I just don't see it any other way.

65 and my 'Vette isn't stick, but my '11 Camaro is; that car is a ball to drive.

Blue 92

Not happening. Two Corvettes, both 6 speeds.

KX

70, good health, no bad anything and not fat, maybe a lb or 2 over weight! Only automatic Corvette I have owned was a '54 back in high school in 1957! Girl friend is 5'0", weighs 100 lbs and can drive my C6 with ease. I once offered her the opportunity to take my ZR-1 down the 1/4 track at Carlsbad, but she declined.....

Will be 69 in a couple of weeks and still shifting my 56 and my 09 Z06.

LDB

64, and have only had one automatic in my life, for a few years back in the 1980's when I had to commute to downtown Houston for a few years. My three Vettes were, and current CTSV is MN6. Left knee still hanging in there. If/when it ever goes kerflooey and takes MN6 with it, then I'll know I'm old.

I'll be 6' under before I ever drive a auto Corvette. That's what my daily drivers are for!

C7Joy

Well said! I'm with Jack (63)!

ClipperFan

i have a relative about 50 and he has a 08 with the paddle shifters............me, they will probably bury me in something that shifts gears..............

71 and all my cars have m trans. If you see someone in a car with an automatic their not driving, their hearding!! The tail lights are blinking also???
