Lol now that’s over simplification.

As CVTs aka snowmobile transmissions do no “gear changes” but rather ratio changes I sure wouldn’t classify it that way.

I personally take credit for killing...

Sorry, Jim. I don't see it as an over simplification at all. The C8 will not have an automatic transmission. It's effectively a manual transmission that requires no clutch pedal or shift lever. As...

Lets be clear, the C8 is NOT an AUTO only. It's a DCT. Huge difference. If you haven't driven one look for the opportunity.

The accident that killed Paul Walker involved a Porsche Carrera GT, a mid-engine layout, not rear like the 911.

Because that is now the competition for the C8, regardless of cost.

If you limit GM to competing (and comparing) against $60,000 mid engine cars there is nothing to talk about.

Right now you would be paying double at auction for a Ford GT. Owners had to sign a two year no sale clause at purchase.

The current Ford GT has 647 HP (TT V6). So the C8 is down 150 HP compared to the GT. Also of note, there is no manual in the Ford GT either.

That's an entirely different model. Pay MORE for what has pretty much been considered the base transmission.

I believe GM made some trade offs that made a manual more difficult to execute.

I still view the DCT as an automated manual. Most here want to call it an automatic. It’s a manual without shift lever.

C8 might change the VIN thing as for $5,000 you can get a custom VIN. Curious to see how that goes. I'd rather spend the $5K on being my own engine builder.

I can assure you GM does not develop cars for the aftermarket calibrators and engine modifiers. This is not covered in design for serviceability.
