Shame it only comes in an automatic.
Lets see what happens when the Zo6 hits the ring, for less dough.

I know everyone says it's an automatic but a dual clutch transmission is not an automatic in the traditional sense. It has no torque converter. It's a manual trans that requires no clutch input from the driver, no stick shift and has the ability to be put into automatic mode. It's a blast to drive in manual with the paddles though. It doesn't act like a traditional auto in automatic mode either. People that aren't used to a DCT will think something is wrong with it in the way that it takes off from a stop and drives in low gears.
After about 2 laps in it, I no longer cared that there was no traditional manual option.
