Finally made the decision to trade my C8 and everything worked out beautifully! Man, I sure missed driving a manual especially the tremec. This is going to take some time to get used to again for sure. Coming from the c8 it feels like I am driving a truck...lol
Damn, I forgot how small that car was on the inside compared to the DH.
Looking forward to lots of seat time to adjust! The noticable differences are the size, feel, and obviously the power.

I know it's a step down in power but I really missed the visceral feeling of shifting gears and being connected.
Things I don't miss is the road noise, rigidness of the suspension, lots of attention.

I am sure I will miss it in ways as it was my first convertible and I is a very well engineered sports car but it just needed a manual like I had in my c7 GS. Sorry for long write up!

Appreciate your post and welcome back!

It’s really the only flaw of the C8, no manual.
