OK, let's end this, too...
1. I have a bad left knee from football many years ago, I am not physically able to push a clutch in (regardless of how easy it is) for a long period of time.
2. My wife has an ailment in her right arm that precludes her from using a manual transmission.
3. I PREFER an automatic transmission.
Good enough reasons for you?

According to.....
According to the figures released on the C6, something like 67% were automatics. The poll I believe is biased at this point, wait until GM puts out the real numbers. Let's wait for the REAL numbers!

People that participate on forums aren't exactly what you would call a "random sample".

We are by nature enthusiasts and the information would probably reflect that Manuals would be a higher preference than autos but when you then zoom out and include all other owners we would see Autos win.
I for one would NEVER buy a Vette in auto if given the choice, thankfully we still have a choice.

I got the manual, it is a personal choice only you can make. My brother just got a new Porsche with the dual clutch PDK tranny, must say it is really quick. My next car might be an auto,and if my C7 does not prove to be a quality car, it will also a 911.

I prefer shifting so whether is be a C7 or a Honda Civic it will be a stick as long as my left knee holds out.

What are the dyno numbers of each on the C7? From a 2nd gear roll to top speed I'd guess the manual is faster, unless they have figured out how to put down equal power with an auto in this generation.
Personally I only drive manuals.

So, I'm 50-50 on the subject(and I'm a performance enthusiast to boot).
