Fornus seniors do you have an M6 or A6? I have an A6 but wish I had the M6 for the fun of shifting. I miss it. What do you have.

Wasn't real happy with the way my a6 shifted, had a (CoW) engine and tranny tune and now I love it.

Good Lord I never thought being 55 meant you were a "senior." Some just prefer an automatic...some commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours each day...some have medical maladies that necessitate an automatic...some drive the hills of San Francisco daily and some are just fuddy-duddies (said in-jest).

I race my car and I can't think of any serious Corvette racers that have an automatic transmission. Until such time as Corvette has a truly responsive paddle-shift, I prefer the precision and control afforded by the manual transmission.

A6, but only because of gridlock in the Tampa Bay area.

64 years old with a A4- 2005. Arthritic knees.....

I've had both. Have the manual now and like it much better.

Stick - weekend car

I ran stick for years at the drag strip and would go 4 or five rounds alot; that takes consistency and when my transmission case cracked in half after many years I went to an automatic which slowed "Me" down by 2 tenths so I think I knew what I was doing with a stick. Bottom line is I went with an automatic and never looked back! Todays automatics are easier on parts and faster for "most" people along with being more consistent; now I say that's hard to beat!!!

PS: My wife has a stick in her M3 convertible that I drive about every other blue moon just for the hell of it.

Oh, and I think that I am the only one "EVER" to post a perfect reaction time in the c6 1/4 mile performance section and that has not been that long ago.

Had an auto in my C4. My GS coupe that is on order will have a M6.
I took many test drives in traffic and out on open roads and the M6 is just so much more fun for me. I will admit that sitting in a traffic jam with a M6 is not fun but it's not that much better if you have a A6.

Almost 63 now and I've had my '07 Z51 with the MZ6 for a little over 5 years . . . and love it. Like stretching out the gears.

Closing in on 70, but it's M6 for me.

I'm 59 and took my car to the racetrack over the weekend. Could not imagine running it with an A6. Stick shift is what Corvettes were made for!

Always had manual's when I was younger and just out of college. Once I started commuting daily and got stuck on the GSP here in Jersey I switched to automatic. Now retired and still kept automatic as I think my wife should be able to drive it if necessary and she will not learn manual.

Gotta keep peace in the family.

Anything shy of a DCM paddle shift Corvette will keep me in my Z.Yes, I know the auto's reprogram may get you crisper shifts but at the cost of your warranty.Not worth it imo.
