and man-'o-man, if there ever was a road made for the paddle shift of the C6, this was that road!
When I was there in my '07, I kept the paddle shifter in third, and never downshifted or upshifted the whole time. Third gear gave me both the low end torque to accelerate out of the curves, and the engine brakeing drag to slow down for the next one. What a barrel of fun that was.
