Poll: Is your C6 tranny Auto or Manual
Just curious to know how many auto tranny's vs manual tranny's are on the forum. I do not want to start a debate about which is better because i know that one is not better than the other, it is just matter of preference. I have owned both and find that both have their advantages and disadvantages. Our current 2011 GS convertible is an auto but our previous 09 coupe with z51 option was a manual. Our C5 was an auto and before that our Camaro z28 was a manual and before that our Pontiac Trans AM was a manual . So argue if you must but that is not the purpose of this pole.

When I bought my '05 last year it was in such good shape and had all options I didn't really care if it was auto or manual. I would have taken it either way and I did. It is auto. I've had my share of manual in the last 35 years and since I'm stuck in traffic a lot here in Vegas I'm glad I have an auto.

Manual, but I had no other choice as my car is a Z06.

Be proud of your auto, you don't need to prove crap the the manual guys.

For myself, a manual transmission is the only way to go in a Corvette! I enjoy shifting and to me, it makes the Corvette experience more fun! I have had a few automatic Vettes, but never enjoyed them as much! Again, there are advantages and disadvantages to both and everyone does have their preference.

Mine is manual. It took a while to find it. No dealers in Houston were stocking manuals when I was ready to buy.
The wife had no say so on this one. My 91 was an automatic and she still would not drive it. So this time I got what I wanted.

Well, if you spend some time at the drag strip, you will find that the majority of all the fast bracket cars (trailered and non-trailered) are all automatics.
Just the way it is

I got A6 so my wife can drive it sometimes. My TA has a 5 spd od so that's where my passion lies.

I bought an A6 so wifey could drive it. 
She did, once, 5 years ago for 5 minutes. She said she was too nervous. 
However, I don't regret getting the A6....the car, an LS2 runs great and I've won plenty of trophies at Englishtown...and guess what?? Never missed a shift!! Haha. But, if I were to buy another Corvette tomorrow, I think I'd spend that money on something else. I do love a 6 speed manual and miss the one in my C5.
