Is there a difference between manual and automatic speed wise or any difference besides the obvios which is one you change the gears manually and the other change automatically because i am looking to purchase vette soon and it seems that the manual cost over 1200$ more whats that about

There's always the paddle shift option for the best of both worlds.

I'd say choosing between the two comes down to personal choice and how the car is going to be used. The auto trans in these Vettes are strong and they shift strong and quick but obviously a manual trans gives you the direct input and ability to go into any gear when necessary for faster acceleration. In a straight line you probably can't tell a difference though.

How do you plan on using your Vette? Daily driver? Live around heavy traffic? Do you want to track the Vette from time to time?
