I don't agree with 75% of Corvette owners choosing automatics, true, 75% of Corvettes are automatics(C4 Generation anyway), I think it's more of the damn dealers ordering the cars that way. Someone walks in and wants a vette that day, the dealer says we can order you a six speed and wait 6 weeks or you can drive an automatic off the lot today.

Most of us didn't buy our C4s new. They were bought by someone older, wealthier, lazier, with a nagging wife, and they wanted an automatic.

But yeah, the demand for manual used C4s is higher than autos. Probably well beyond 50%. Combine that with the 25% supply of manuals and you get a demand driven price difference. Not to mention the small % putting manuals in their auto vettes.
