When you go over the six figure mark, the competition gets really heavy and that C8 Z06 is going to be a freaking monster.

However...if this came in a proper manual, that opens up the door to a lot more buyers.
I agree. The automatic kills it for me. It's quite a big car for a track monster. A lightweight G87 makes more sense to me.

Z06 will be the best bargain out there, so hard to compare it to that. Maybe you could say it's a bargain compared to the GT3 and it will beat the GT4 on the track, but who would drive an automatic GT3 (not PDK)?

That said, I'm sure it will still sell.
