Which is crazy to me. That's why when you see these cars in the wild they are auto's so frequently.

To me, I definitely think that the M6 will have a higher value based on this like you said, and just in general going by how the market reacts for other muscle and sports cars that are manual.

When I was in the market for a used vehicle at the end of last year, the vehicles with auto trans that were for sale at the time were cheaper than the vehicles with manuals.

Believe it all comes down to the law of supply and demand - since they produced fewer manuals, the supply is inherently less in the used car market. And as fewer and fewer new cars are available with manual, that influences the demand for manuals in the used market.

With my bad knees, the a10 is a performance god send. Worth more to me when wanting to get the most enjoyment. That’s why I sold my GEN five SS manual for the ZL1 a10

The ss has a higher speed rating than the LT1(180mph vs. 155mph) as per the owners manual.

Yes, but that is entirely due to the lower rating on the tires the LT1 gets from the factory. Having those skinny 1-pot rear brakes sure doesn't help either, but that alone wouldn't translate to a lower max speed.
