what is the reason we cannot purchase a Redeye with a 6 speed manual?

 

I don't think the trans can tolerate the power.

 

thanks for the reply..i see corvette's with a 6 and 800+ HP...maybe someday we'll see it..

 

May be other reasons in there as well. Auto trans doesn't hit the driveline as hard as a manual can, so, may be something else in the driveline as the limiting factor, or, it may just be a manual trans would torque the unibody too much. Or, it may be, that the manual trans simply isn't popular enough that the beancounters didn't wanna spend the money on development to put a manual in the car.

In the infamous words of Elon Musk: "Building cars is hard."

 

Stock Corvettes don't come with 800+hp.....you think that trans is stock too lol?
