You are way more in the loop than I am, but to me it really simply boils down to marketing & 1LE = Manual. If they offered it in auto seems to me they would simply use another name due to the history??

Can't wait till you get yours & get some feedback!!
I'm far from in the loop.

Personally, I think the biggest factor was weight. ZL1 1LE is a full 124lbs lighter than the A10 ZL1 that went around the 'Ring last summer. 61 of those pounds was the transmission, according to Chevy's weight figures for the coupe.

I am DYING, waiting for this masterpiece....but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait - and I'll absolutely provide feedback.
