My C7 manual is all the car I need.
The C8's look hideous to me. I have drove one. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Wobblin-Goblin: And then there's this behemoth that has 18 gears and two sticks. Part of the allure of driving it is the challenge of mastering the skill of shifting the thing: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/3241/1964B61SX_JPG-2266279.jpg @Wobblin-Goblin I have driven a number of Macks over the years, including some B series. I was not aware that there was a two stick 18 speed option in them. These are the B series twin stick options of which I am aware and have driven: 10 speed duplex - a 5 speed main box plus a 2 speed auxiliary box 15 speed triplex - a 5 speed main box plus a 3 speed auxiliary box 20 speed quadruplex - a 5 speed main box plus a 4 speed auxiliary box None of those total 18 speeds. I have also driven R Series Macks which did offer an 18 speed single stick transmission, the Mack triple countershaft being my favorite. Are you certain that the truck you picture has an 18 speed? If so, what is the shift pattern? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By coreseller: I have not ridden / driven a C8 ZO6 but have a C7 ZO6, it had an auto transmission. That thing revved up so damn fast I'd have a hard time believing anyone could keep up with a clutch / stick shifting it manually, not kidding. I am also a dyed in the wool "if it's a sports car it needs a manual" guy but the newer drivetrains are literally different animals, not to mention modern PDK / Dual Clutch transmissions are light years ahead of a turbo 350 from decades back. I had a C7Z06 manual, awesome car. I had no issue changing gears. I also drove a manual at Spring Mountain vette school, I had a great, and very fast time. |

Got to ride in the passenger seat of a 2023 that was the pace car at the Vettes for Vets in 2022 in Bowling Green.
120Mph on a flat track and that car drove like it was stuck to the pavement with a giant magnet. |

Quote Historylight is right, every single time. what are EVs? that's right, they're heavy as hell. one trick ponies with a side of virtue signaling. and their value drops like the jaw of a woketard at a gun range for a reason-  Are used EVs a rip-off?! |

The amount of cope from ICE bois is just amazing,
just own the fact the EV is faster in a straight line. Don't counter with "MuH CorNerS" Imagine going to a NBA court and telling the players "Man you guys can only shoot baskets but I can DRIBBLE the piss out of the ball" its just  /The model S plaid that is completely stock drivetrain with aero added. has set the fastest lap time PERIOD at willow springs. and it went against the Z06 and the Z06 with a PRO driver was slower than a complete shlub amateur in the plaid. Once ICE people get over the vroom vroom sounds that make their PP feel big they will realize racing is going to be EV, weather we like it or not. |

It's not cope, you're just too ignorant to understand. Take a factory model s plaid and run it against a factory Z06. Or run the aero car against a C8R with all the aero and the same horse power as the Z06. Aero makes a massive difference. What you see as an insignificant detail is actually a big deal, again, ignorance. |

Get a Demon for drag racing - or build something. Then you can go Plaid hunting. Can you drag race a Z06? Sure. But it's kind of like digging a hole with a hammer. It'll do it, but there are much better tools to use. |

Once ICE people get over the vroom vroom sounds that make their PP feel big they will realize racing is going to be EV, weather we like it or not. EVs are absolutely faster in a straight line. I really don’t care though. There is more to a car than literally one performance metric. That’s the part the “EV bois” don’t seem to get. The Tesla vs Z06 video you are referencing isn’t quite as you described. The Tesla was modified in pretty much every possible way… aero, suspension, brakes, tires, light weight windows. That “Dark Helmet” car is basically a stripped down race car. Couldn’t even drive it on most roads with that massive splitter. Comparing a race car to a stock street car doesn’t make much sense. If it wasn’t faster there would be something seriously wrong. Everything is eventually going EV. Or at least hybrid. It is what it is. Hopefully the tech improves to the point where EVs aren’t all so heavy. |

Whoever signed off on letting that jackass in the vette drive by himself needs kicked in the nuts:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn4w8DlPBx0Man I love motorcycle trackdays so much more... no point to pass. Especially guys like that C8 driver, just pass them on the outside as the overbrake into a corner |

We started running R models in the late 1960s and beyond. I think they came out with the Granite models next. Lots of transmissions had "dead" gears in them that could not be used in sequence. For example, the twin stick or air shift Spicer 4 x 4. It had 16 speeds, but only 13 could easily be used in sequence. |
