Overall, the ZL1 looks rock steady, and the driver didn't appear to be fighting it as much as the ZR1. The downshifts are amazing. Its pretty awesome how the computer is set to automatically downshift to keep the car in the 5k rpm range when braking so when you get back into the gas it isn't hunting for power. I'm a manual guy, but wow, that is awesome.
It seems they took off where they left off the the 5th gen A6. I love how aggressive the car is in manual mode. The A6 also selects the right gear when downshifting on it own, it would be fantastic with 10, very little drop off in rpm so the car stays smooth.
