This video portrays a manual Z06, but towards the beginning you can hear one shift with audio that definitely sounds like it's from an auto, a really fast one. it sounds like a dual clutch it's so...

Agreed 100%. Especially a smack in the face after seeing the concept WRX. Although the pre production WRX had already been shown, so I've been disappointed for a while.

I think 3.4+ is a bit high for a 0-60, the curb weight at 3450 would be nice but I expect 3500+, Price sounds exactly right.

The new auto weighs less than the manual, which is kind off odd. Still prefer the manual but wouldn't be surprised to see the auto being quicker.

There's mounds of evidence. The paddles are marked with +/- and there's a P in the dashboard. Also the new 8L90E gearbox can handle the new Z's torque, I'm sure someone else here could fill you in on...

I'll be sitting in second period AP Bio at 9:30, Sucks to be 15 sometimes. No doubt i'll be all over everything Z06 when I get home.

The shift knob says 2 4 6 R along the bottom.. Everything else suggests auto, even the shift handle design. As for it being a DCT pattern I think the hope for that is crushed after seeing a high res...

The Aventador does not use an auto. The gearbox it has is known as an ISR and is an advanced, but harsh, single clutch automated manual. It's closer to a manual than a DCT is.

Wow, that white photoshop looks beastly, reminds me of the Z06X. I'm a huge fan of the very aggressive aero and body. I think the stinger stripe looks better here because it is recessed into the hood...

If this is solid info, and it seems viable, a 1.7L blower is interesting. The ZR1's TVS was a 2.3L unit, correct?

I can't imagine a sub $90K base price, I find $95K more realistic for base and loaded $115K. Anyone saying $80K can enjoy their fantasy for now

Anything under $90K starting seems unrealistic to me, maybe $85K if carbon ceramic brakes are optional. I estimate a base price of $94,000 if carbon brakes are standard equipment, and I would think...

If you really want to be the fastest you want a dual clutch. I have no problem with an auto Z06 it just should be a dual clutch. And did you say a slush box beating a DCT? I don't think so.

Laughable as in a TORQUE CONVERTER auto doesn't belong in a Z06. Dual Clutch option or manual only.

Look at the 8L90 thread, if the Z06 does get an auto it looks like it will be an 8 speed slush box.

Can someone explain why this is innovative or exciting? A Z06 with an 8 speed slush box doesn't excite me at all.
