However, put your foot to the floor and both snap off shifts like nobody's business and to me that's what counts. The ZL1 is much easier to get into driveways. The Z06 is mildly quicker, faster, more nimble, and a bit less forgiving.

I do miss having a super fast manual in the stable, so I debate about going M7 ZR1 or something in the future.
I had the A8 in my last 6th gen ('16 SS). It was a good transmission other than the shudder issue that took them years to fix (not sure if that problem extended to the vette). The A10 just seems so much smoother to me. Could be just a faulty memory on my part in that regard. I don't think either are bad, I just think the A10 feels smoother and more refined
