Came across this real interesting article... it certainly provides perspective and context. A couple of thoughts the first being Corvettes have a manual uptake of more than 25%... that's a lot! Especially considering 25% are a about 55k cars!!! Having one transmission is certainly more profitable, but the question is how many more people would now buy it because it has a manual? Would that be enough to offset? I mean I believe at that point it would be the highest performing car offered with a manual, dollar for dollar and in absolute terms of it manages to out track a GT3... now that's a compelling argument right there!
Anyway read up... curious to hear some thoughts
