Manual transmission take rate

[hawk02]

While there's always a chance for the 9th gen car, the engineering for the 8th gen car is done. There won't be any "surprise" manual transmissions in the C8. It's "stuck" with the current Tremec DCT box.

“Stuck with” is a good choice of words to describe the Tremec DCT in the C8.

I own a 2024 CT5-V Blackwing A10 and a 2024 CT4-V Blackwing M6 and I wouldn't have it any other way. I just don't feel like the CT4 Blackwing would be as much fun to drive without a manual and I don't think the CT5 Blackwing would be able to get the power to the ground with a manual as well as an auto. Now that my CT5 Blackwing makes over 800hp, it would be silly to have a manual trans. Other might disagree but that's my opinion. I think its great to have options though.

I was in the same boat minus having 800hp in my 5. The a10 in it is great especially for straight line racing. Now that I have a manual bw5 I’d never go back. It is too much fun on the street with the extra pedal.
