Yeah... I know they sell what people buy, but in my opinion it ruins a nice sports car to throw an Auto-tranny in it. I always think that someone who buys an automatic sports car is more interested in HAVING the car than they are in DRIVING it 
For me, I care very little about the badge on the hood, HP, or the 1/4mi times. I'm in a car for the driving experience. I would probably have more fun driving around a 5 speed CRX than an auto Vette.
But that's my opinion. To each their own

I also think it is lame that about 90% of ferrari owners would probably be happier in a ford taurus.
I bought a truck from a guy who had 2 ferraris, gt2 porsche, sl65, etc...... when i asked if he had been to the track he almost looked offended..."NO"... blaaaaaa
he had over $1M in awesome cars, yet drove them like a little old man.
he hadnt even floored the typhoon that i bought from him all the way to 100mph to see if it would go into 4th gear a full throttle! ....so why have a car with 300-400-500 hp if you only use 5% of it??
o well.... i guess just like why does a dog lick his balls......

i dont understand how this could possibly bother anyone

However, the logic that since I have a choice means I shouldn't be bothered by anything is a little unnecessary. We discuss the pros and cons about cars all the time that we don't have.
Why does it bother me? Because I don't like the idea of such a capable performance machine being in the hands of someone who just wants a boulevardier. It seems like a bit of a waste to me. There are a million teenage boys out there who would give anything to have a 6-speed Corvette to tear around in, and yet the people who can afford them water down the driving experience with an automatic transmission. I guess this bothers me because I was a teenage boy at one time.
YES, I know Chevy needs to make money.
YES, I know people will buy what they want, more power to them.
But that doesn't mean it can't bother me a little bit, right?

The only way I could ever see myself in a Vette was to get one that looked like the beast it is.

Pure hell on wheels.

i know this is a little off topic but i have to ask. i was on the pa turnpike when i came across what looked liked a viper. as it got closer i realized that it was the front of a c6....except it had a front hood scoop and wide as hell fenders just like a new zo6. i wish i took a pic but it went by pretty fast. was it the real deal or maybe a c6 wannabe z06?

If it had wide fenders, both front and rear, it's going to be hard to duplicate that on a 'fake' Z06. Anyway, there are pilot and preproduction models all over the place, but the production model has not quite been released. It's going to happen very, very soon though.
Luckily, my buddy is getting one of the first ones in TX. I hope he doesn't try to flip it for a profit and then wait for another one.
I want us to go and rag it out.

can someone tell me how the Z06 looks different exterior-wise compared to a regular C6?
