The main reason for leaving the Vette behind was the slow and soft shifts. It was no better than my Subaru Outback CVT paddle shifter. Lots of power, but it is like grandma's auto. Slow and no crispness to the shifts.

I am very happy with the 3.0 and the 6 speed manual. As you said, grade B performance, sound and ride. Your review of the 3.5 with the DCT gives me something exciting to look forward to. Keep us updated on your experience.
You should be very happy with the 3.0 and its definitely not grade B compared to anything, im sorry if my post sounded so arrogant. Its all what you are looking for, i had a friend of mine ask me if my exhaust was "broken" because it sounded so loud, to him its noise, to me its music. Theres something for everyone.
