Yes, I said it... feel

I miss my C7. It was an amazing performance car, involving, fast, connected, incredible performance and a great track car too. As much as I love my M4, if I didn't need a back seat I would still be driving a Stingray... or a Z06 for the same cost as my M4. The new Camaro is now similar with a backseat. I don't love the style, but that's subjective, otherwise I might buy one... especially given it weighs about the same as the M3/4. That's crazy IMO... GM should get full credit.
Not to flame, but if you loved the Stingray so much, why not get the SS?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
