I can find historical examples all day of how manuals are more efficient than automatics when i deliberately choose old inefficient variants of automatics to compare, and do nothing else.



That is a meaningless comparison projected on modern vehicles and the various types of newer automatics out there.



Not sure what the big deal is in admitting manuals are for enthusiasts now. There is no argument. They were passed years ago in efficiency, the human element slows things down. Look at racing.
Yes you can make that point. But two 6 speed trans in the same ratio 1 with no torque converter is more efficient. But since that horse has been beaten to death, and the original point of this post, or at least my responses in this post and what you just reiterated, a Corvette IS an enthusiast car and absolutely should have 3 pedals and a stick shift option. And the dct is glass apparently.
