A10 is just easier to drive consistently fast. Less to worry about. Probably not much faster for a pro, but an amateur will be more consistent in an A10 (laptimes).

[JasonGofast]

A10 certainly is faster. In the hands of a pro or not, .1s is faster no matter how you phrase it. In equal conditions, whether roll race or track race the A10 will be faster.

Welcome to any car forum, where oil threads and AT vs. MT threads devolve quickly.

This is just a bit of lighthearted pandemic ribbing friends. I love ALL of my Camaro sistren and brethren, AT or MT, soft top and hard, 8/6/4 bangers, blown or natural, SS or LT, any gen. E pluribus unum.

Now Mustang folks, they’re a bunch of wankers!

A10: “it don’t matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning!” - in defense of how an A10 is always faster and therefore better

M6: “dude, I almost had you!” - in defense of how fast an M6 still is despite limitations



Hopefully some get the movie reference

The A10 is faster, easier, and more high tech. The only reasons to get an M6 IMO:

1. You like to shift a manual--no need to explain why... Porsche spent millions to bring this back in GTs for purist sports car enthusiasts who like the feel of shifting, heel-toe, etc.
2. You plan to seriously mod your ZL1 and don't want to worry a lot about a broken or overheating A10 out of warranty--fixing an auto can be very expensive. The GT-R, Porsche, and Lambo owners spend a fortune on DCT upgrades and repairs. I've been through this with a highly modded DCT car and won't do that again. If you shift properly the only mod you may need on an M6 is a carbon or other HD clutch.

Stock A10 supports 800+ I believe

Then the response should be you never had your car.

You know that time and trap speed is pretty meh for that horsepower.

[ZX-10R]

I think you misread, I'm not saying that particular car made 800 rwhp - they don't cite any dyno numbers, but similar car (manual) made 735

I'm not surprised to see it handle 800+ WHP, the question is for how long and what is the cost if little parts start to fail over time--solenoids, gear sensors, triple clutch assembly. There are a lot of complex electro-mechanical/hydraulic parts under extreme stress and heat at 800 WHP. With an M6 the most likely thing to fail is the clutch--it'll burn out under extreme load like an electrical fuse, saving the gear box.

Yep if you're looking for a 1000+ hp monster manual is the way to go, but that represents 0.1% of ZL1 owners
