I’m 15 mins away from the plant and remember when the C7s first come out. I was told most were sticks from guys working the line. If there was a stick option then I’d be very tempted to buy a C8. With no option, then I’ll most likely admire from a distance. Nothing beats being able to row the gears yourself and red line and downright abuse something like I did my stick ZL1. Sticks are getting to be a harder and harder sell with being “slower” and a lot of younger people not knowing how to drive one...but boy they don’t know what they’re missing
