I am amazed at how many have ordered the new 8 speed automatic; versus the manual.

When I was a kid, every car I owned was manual. Since I have been married, every car is Auto.. Afraid of going thru clutches with more than one driver. All my Vettes since 1979 have been Auto (C3 C4 C5 C6) and soon to be C7. The 8 Speed Auto is suppose to be crazy and really looking forward to it.

Why? Autos have outsold manuals on the Corvette... going back to the 1970's.

True, but according to previous statistics, I believe that 70% of Corvettes were automatic. By the looks of this thread, it appears like maybe around 90% of those who posted, ordered automatic. Of course that this thread is just a minor indication, but surprising to me, to say the least.
