Both are the same, (automatics) the only way to compare. You can't compare a standard to an automatic. That would be unfair. A couple of other things my father and I noticed is that it is much easier to get in and out of the crossfire, and that the interior on the corvette seems to break down sooner (seats, door panels and carpet) all seem to be wearing premature. But me father in-law did buy the corvette used.
