I got pumped when i thought it had a T-top... Still if the new vettes are so stiff in targa form that it is the only option, i don't see a problem.

Interesting take on manually shifting with an automatic.
It actually seems quite logical by comparison to rotary dial shifters for instance.
I do wonder about long term reliability with parts of both a manual and an automatic. Imagine working on one of these 33 years later!

Its an interesting concept for sure, but I think the new Mazda Miata RF is cooler. I can see a sport roof GT86 coming out, but I don't know about the other aspects of this concept making it to production. But you can buy one of these right now...
