Note on the M6: I haven't driven manual in 2 years and got to drive it for 5 minutes.
In overall it felt underpowered. I know it's because of the longer ratios but, the A10 camaro feels lighter and quicker.
I think it's just matter of getting used to again.
Regardless of my desires, losing 20k is not an option so, we'll see what the future brings. I can always get a ZL1 M6 later on.
Question to keep the debated heated up... This is the 2nd or 3rd manual car I found with less than 5k miles. Do people purchase them, and find out the hard way it is a lot of work and trade them in?

Maybe, but some people go through cars pretty fast and move onto the next. IE, I traded my 2016 SS @ 9.6k miles for a new ZL1. Then sold the ZL1 @ 5k miles. Both were auto’s… If I didn’t dislike the new style mustang so much, I probably would have squeezed one of those in between….
