I know my Z06 sounds wimpy, wimpy, wimpy. I hope the new Zxx sounds Hefty, Hefty, Hefty.

If you check out the MotoMan interview on YouTube, the Chief Engineer said that the problem is that almost no one spending $85k on a luxury car (performance or otherwise) is interested in a manual transmission. I would expect that the market response for Camaros (i.e. A dedicated performance car) would be very different. So I wouldn't worry too much.

I can guarantee the next ZL1 will get a manual transmission. Ceramic brakes would be a cool option but I don't think we will see that. One can hope.

The GT350 does not have carbon ceramic brakes.

I think he means if you opt for the R package you get them.

Needs to be an option, have you seen how expensive the brakes are? A 6-7K brake job would scare me!

That was a joke. The LT4 in the Z06 is definitely not wimpy if the exhaust mode is set to track. Everyone that has heard mine has said it sounds bada$$.

The GT350R doesn't get them either. Ford said they looked at carbon ceramics and any benefits did not outweigh the costs.
