The thing is, there are two versions of the ZL1 (not including the recently released ZL1 1LE), a six-speed manual version and a ten-speed automatic that GM once said would shift faster than a double clutch transmission. Upon taking it out to Willow Springs raceway, professional race car driver Randy Pobst finds that he can beat the automatic version by .32 of a second. That is by no means a country mile, but it's a boon to the Save The Manuals campaign because it proves that not all automatic cars are better. Driving skill outweighs computer edge any day, not always because it supplies the better lap time as was shown in this case, but because regardless of which car wins, the driver is likely happier in the manual.
