    good work! i'm thinking of doing the same but the opposite. i have the 430 and looking at adding the z06. how do you like the z06? what transmission do you have? how does it compare to he F1?

    That is a Stingray in the picture, not Z06. If your looking to add a Z06 I suggest you go over the the Corvette Forum and do some research there. They have all kinds of topics about the A8 vs M7. I guess it depends on how you plan to use it most. I for one could NEVER get the A8 when a manual is still available. But I am in the extreme minority it appears. Happy hunting.

    Yes, basic 2015 Stingray. 8 speed auto with eco mode yielding 29 mpg. The difference of the 2 vehicles is most noticeable when fast acceleration. The Vette is faster but all over the road. The 430 very stable esp. with the new Michelin Sport Cup 2 that came with the car.

    You can't look back. I've had the 430 for a week and Just saw a 2008 F430 6 speed manual with lower miles for a similar price 100 miles away!!!

    No, my brother still hasn't forgiven me for getting the auto. My Cruze is a 6 speed manual and more fun to drive.

    If you found a M6 F430 for similar price you better jump on that thing now.
