Sure you might lose (BY A FENDER) to an A10 on the highway, but you had a helluva lot of fun banging those gears at wide open throttle! But a competitive side of me does say "Yeah well he still won", and sure that gets me. I just fear that if I go for the auto I'll say "Shoulda gotten the M6" over and over. And no doubt, if I get the manual and lose a race I'll probably say "Shoulda gotten the auto". Lol. It's a vicious circle.
This is what's haunting me as I think about buying one of these ZL1s...Should I just get a C7 Z06? I mean if the rear seat is useless, scrap the ZL1, drop the 500 lbs, get the better aero, and in most people's eyes, a Vette is always a little bit better than a Camaro, and they'll probably be similar money for a car I'd buy (Gently used, sub 5k miles).
I don't know, I should probably start my own thread on this.

Not entirely true my friend. If you read the late 2017 ZL1 articles from most popular car magazines most of them are praising the ZL1 over the Z06 that even with non cup tires its putting is power better to the ground on a more controlled way, and also it does not have any of the overheating issues like the ones that you would encounter on the Z06. In a way its SUPERIOR compared to the Z06. Probably the ZL1 would follow closely the Z06 on a track because of weight and aerodinamics differences, but it would be more dependable and easier to drive fast.
