C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

"All season tires"? Wonder if they'll include a set of snows on steelies if you ask them? LOL

With a proper DCT transmission in this car, there won't be very many nay-sayers after they've driven it. They are just that good nowadays. And that fun to drive. And that engaging. Launch control on the 4C takes over shifting because even with the paddles you'd hit the rev limiter. The C8 is well over a second faster to 60, so I don't frankly see how you could do it any other way. Besides, in a manual it would be a toss-up as to whether you'd blow out the clutch, or your left knee first! :-)

Bigger problem will be those people used to automatics driving a DCT as if it had a torque converter.
