Again these threads are hysterical while us guys with autos continue to have all the fun.

That's really not what I meant. Its just that in my neck of the woods, all of the newer, used sports cars get purchased as soon as they hit the lot by younger guys like myself. Making it difficult to find the car you want assuming you prefer a stick.

Again, regardless of your preference, corvette owners of years past have really gotten the shaft as far as choice of decent transmissions. Generally autos are all that can be found leaving little or no choice for someone who prefers a stick. On top of that vette folks have gotten stuck with lame skip-shift manuals in the c5, poor 3+4 auto/manuals in the c4, and very few 4spd trannys in most of the c3/stingray generation.
