2016 C7 Purchase

Not sure if I put this in the right section.

Got a 2016 C7 Corvette today. I am keeping my X5 so the vette will be a third car, weekend deal for wifey and I. It is Torch Red, Black Interior, Black Wheels, 2LT Trim, 7 speed manual. Drives great. I think it is a great value for the money.

Was unable to take it home today; rain here and they could not get it ready. Cant get back to it until Wednesday with work schedule. I will post pics when I get it home.

#SaveTheManuals.

Awesome that you got a proper Corvette with three pedals on the floor. It's an amazing car. I would have bought one but currently I have enough "toys ", whatever.

Yeah, drove an auto and manual. It was an easy decision. It has an auto rev matching feature which is pretty cool. Makes downshifts feel and sound like a pro. No heel/toe required.

Not a real manual. You're driving a manually clutched automatic now. Smh. May as well get a convertible and wear a dress ... as long as you're running with full synthetic, you'll be ok though.
yes - sarcasm.

That means the M2 isn't a real manual either

At least in the C7, you can turn off auto rev matching without turning off DSC

Nowai. M-DCT is a manual man. It just... shifts for you.
