Guess what, I almost bought a Z06 before the 370z but felt it was a bit out of my price range at the time so I went conservative. Does not change the fact that I feel the technology in the Vette is old and needs to be updated. Yes the gear skip is to beat CAFE, but GM needs to invest in a future, not games to beat a system.
I don't see why it has to change for the sake of changing if it can offer the same fuel mileage, emission and performance. It's the same reason why we have 18s and 19s on every car now even though 16s and 17s are just as good and if not better. You are paying 50-60K for a car that can perform like a 100K car. That is impressive by any standard. CAGS is only activated when you are rolling off the line slowly anyway. Unless you are taking it easy, you are not going to feel a single thing. It's overblown like the Prius runaway stories. Speaking of technology and Prius, now that is a car full of technology.

NASCAR Cup cars can run 9000RPM making 800HP+ with a carb on there!
