People are always putting down owners of C6 Vet's with Automatics. I gotta tell you I love my Corvettes LS3 naturally aspirated Automatic 6 speed. It's soooo damn fast. ❤
If price is similar, I’d always recommend the manual for a sports car. Autos are driven hard and prone to breaking and far more expensive to repair or regularly maintain whereas an automatic, especially in an often hard-driven sports car, are essentially a lottery of wait and see for failure, at which point $5,000 is still in the lower end of replacement costs.
@@bynknex I wouldn’t want to say anything in that regard until you drive it for yourself since it is relatively subjective, but my opinions are all my own upon initial or near initial driving experiences

Where are you located? That 0-60 mph run took almost 6 seconds.
I’m in Rhode Island test driving all over the state. I’m in uncontrolled conditions so my 0-60 are always random depending on location.
The automatic is only a 4 speed, same one in there pick up trucks
Edit: nevermind the 4 speed auto was only used in 2005
Per a quick search on my end, 2005 seems to be the 4sp whereas 2006+ had the 6 auto.
2005 = 4 speed | 2006 and more = 6 speed
It sure looks like you have the emergency brake pulled up the WHOLE video, lol. That might have contributed to the extremely slow 0-60 run. XD
I don’t haha, I’d easily notice in the feel and have the brake light on. Just a bad run I guess!
It happens, lol. No worries, I still enjoyed the video.@@radialreviews
@@thecooltable9481pretty weird that the e brake isn’t on because in my c6 if the e brake was that high it would be on
@@radialreviews I'm going to buy a Corvette C6 on Monday (LS2, 2006) the acceleration is sensational?

If anyone is watching this…..buy the 6 speed manual because the auto is boring
You got a auto 6 speed like this video ?
@@bynknex Nope, Drive both, The manual was definitely the o key choice to buy after that
@@racingdreamz8021I purchase a Convertible auto 6 speed, but I think it’s better for me, I just want to cruise 😊
