...an excerpt from the article says:

Keep in mind, however, that the Z28 will be almost 300 pounds lighter than the CTS-V, so expect 0 to 60 times under four seconds and a top speed of 193 mph (with the manual transmission). Speaking of gearboxes, the Z28 will most likely be offered only in a full-manual six-speed option (due to the higher cost of the automatic).

I wish they would make an auto option. Wasn't there a spy pic that had 6.2l supercharged auto on the dash of the car somewhere?

Yeah....check out camaro5. But that doesnt mean it will happen. Either way I would go with the stick in a sports car every time, but that's just me.

It will get the A6 as an option. Why not, they already have it in the CTS-V and I'm sure they could steal some GT500 buyer who want an auto. Not everyone wants a stick in sports car. I don't see why but there are people out there.

There would be no point in that auto test mule that GM has if they didn't plan an auto option.

Personally I would never buy a manual trans car (main reason I don't have an '03-'04 Cobra) - they are just not welcome in my garage. So I'll be very happy to see an auto option, and this car *might* sway me away from an LS3/A6 C6.
