I'm by no means a manual elitist, despite only owning manual vehicles. I personally think there is a time and place for both. If given the choice, I'll almost always choose stick though.


There is a saying that this thread made me think of.

Who cares which one is faster? It's a drivers car, its about the experience. There's a reason they didn't offer the Z06 in an automatic. It wasn't the model built for females and 80 year old men.

When it comes to cars, its generally a bad idea to target a subgroup of an already small group. Not many people can afford an $80K+ car in the first place, if you further limit your market to only manual drivers, you'll soon find yourself in the same spot as the SRT Viper. That's just poor business strategy. GM understood this and released both auto and manual so that everyone who wanted the car can drive it. Now the C7 is the bestselling 2-seater in America and ranked 4th in sports car sales.

I think i would go b1 black on the paddle shifter, they really do get in the way on a daily driver

tbh i would never take it out of drive unless your doing a burnout lol


And tbh i didnt notice much of a difference in wheel 2 and 3 but i think i prefer the 1st, no need to complicate things, clean and simple

Wheel 2 and 3 is the same design, but wheel 3 has the OEM aluminum bezel + OEM shifters and wheel 2 has a carbon fiber bezel with B2 shifters.

TBH I've never "switched out" paddle shifters before on any of my older cars so I've never actually used larger one to know the difference. I thought it was just kinda cool and definitely an option to consider. For daily driving, if they get in the way as say, do you think its better if I just stick to the OEM ones that come with the wheel? Since I have no way to "test them out" and get a feel; I am asking people who might know. Once i place the order, it will run me 200$ + 50$ installation fee that I can't undo.

Well ive never actually driven the new corvette but from having conversations with people that have cars with paddle shifters some absolutely love them and some say they get in the way, this is referring to people that drive them at road coarse events and such aswell as street

I wouldn't be highly concerned with it, and again i still like the b1, but depending on your hands b2 is slightly more attractive imo


I just dont think you will be using the paddle shifters much and don't really need the larger ones (and again why risk them being in the way for accidental upshifts or downshifts)

Maybe if you are worried about it being pronounced you should get them in silver :o

Get a manual if u want to manually shift it, its more fun that way and you can make it sound cooler too when your driving around lmao
