I would love to see that stock vs stock, I think it would really surprise you MT guys but I could be wrong. I track with one of my life long best friends who has a 01 Z06 that is supercharged and 455whp/ 451 tq the runs away from my car, the only place he's impressed with the Z is when we are shifting.

For the record, I love auto!
The only reason I bought my Z is because it was Canadian model(as I live in Canada)
A 40th anniversary fully loaded with every possible option available at the time for our cars.

U don't believe me.............. just ask my wife!! 4 years+ and she still hounds me that its manual

Guys...........listen to your wife if you want to buy cars

Understand how a torque converter works and you will answer your question. Automatic transmission w/ converter is not to be confused with an auto-shifting dual clutch manual - that would beat a manual shift manual transmission every time.
