It's just a matter of when each manufacturer is going to stop sitting at the sidelines and jump into the pool. Maybe GM might do it at the middle of the C7 run as an "enticement" for early C7 buyers to upgrade! |

I love my dct, but I could definitely go back to a manual. It would be much easier to have the manual if there wasn't a dct option that was considerably faster. The current c7 is one of the last sports cars made that doesn't have a faster automated option. I'm sure even the auto in the c7 will be quicker than most drivers but it would be close.
