Enjoyed the video as many of us are still at status 3000. Thank you for expanding on the dct . Ive been driving manuals for many decades. Buddy brought over a c8 and insisted I drive it. Nice smooth quiet ride
Depends on a few factors, but most likely I would tell you it is an incredible option that I think most people would love! And you don't need Z51 for the 2021 model.
The Cameros 10 spd was way beyond what was on the C7. I'm baffled that they failed to add that auto into the C7s. It's the reason that I didnt purchase the Z06. I blew my ankle bad and cant use a stick anymore. Cant wait for my C8. Have to get working again
Emelia Hartford is running a twin turbo C8. She blew the engine recently but was able to determine the DCT can handle about 665 ft LBS of tourque before slipping.... Check out her channel....
Bill Calabrese i thought it was higher like 20 percent and remember dealer ordered inventory always or almost always ordered in automatics so it skewed the unit sales of manual transmission c7 s.
After driving the c8 dct with 11k miles on it the dct learns and becomes so efficient...so fast...the manual in my current corvette doesnt compete. All GM computers need at least 1500 miles on them...the c8 dct is no exception. The GM computers learn..its sci fi scarey but true. Having pushed an 11k mile c8 a little...trust the dct gets even better over time.

Been Driving my Volkswagen with dual clutch transmission for three years now. About time for the Corvette to catch up

Enjoy your videos, well done. Been waiting over a year since deposit for mine, which is specked out just like yours.
J D 3000 since early February .
It will be worth the wait, I can assure you!!
Do you think the magnetic ride option for 2021 is important to add to my build?

No question, everybody loves the C8 and its DCT. But what of durability? That remains to be seen.
I cannot wait for mine to arrive. Ordered in February 2020 but no news , at all.
It will be worth the wait, I promise! It’s a hard wait though, I feel you!
Good job, great video, informative. 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
GM in 2020:
don't ever expect any of our products to be durable
Thx, good review. I have a 9/17/20 date for mine

Fabricate a stick that pokes the clutch that can be be hand operated

That's probably one of the ways how Chevy was able to maintain the Corvette's low cost despite being mid-engine
665lbs is good. The z06 will have a beefed up version of that same transmission I guess.
At the crank or wheel?
Good stuff! Anxiously waiting for my C8 blade silver convertible. TPW is September 7th.
J D I made the cut by one week before they shut the plant down, my order was placed in July of last year.
I ordered the exact same spec
Not quite as fast as a Porsche PDK but still very good.
Yes it is. It's lightning fast.
Some say it is some say its not
I’m still curious how the DCT compares to the M3CS DCT. I would expect the C8 to be better, but hadn’t got to drive one yet.
Does the engine causes any smellnor fumes in the cabin?
None whatsoever. All you smell is a wonderful new leather smell!
Of course it's good it's an American.
1st - Nice content........
Nice!!!
Less than 10% of Corvettes sold were manual🤔
Bill Calabrese i thought it was higher like 20 percent and remember dealer ordered inventory always or almost always ordered in automatics so it skewed the unit sales of manual transmission c7 s.
I know, its really hard to believe honestly. The manuals are so hard to beat in my opinion!

@@FullThrottleDrive I, for one, really appreciate your honest assessment of the DCT.
Next time you do a review could you show us exactly how to do launch control
Absolutely! I am just waiting to get 1500 miles on the car. I want it fully broken in before I launch it!
