But on the other hand, if it's going to be a 6L90 and not a 6L80 that should help a tiny bit as well.

Ha! Yourself! You are obviously misguided in your thinking. Look at Ferrari only offering the 458 with paddle shift trans, Lamborghini manual transmission sales account for less then 20% of their sales, the Nissan GTR only auto. I read a poll recently that most Europeans now prefer the F1 type paddle shift transmissions over the traditional manual transmission.

But at least a paddle shift operated 'traditional automatic' brings that gap just a tiny little bit closer.
Hopefully the next Corvette line will come with a true F1 style sequential manumatic, there has been some talk of it.

But with this new information, I will again consider this car as a future possibility.

Personally, I would never buy any car with a manual, and the ZL1 was on my radar back when the auto test mule version was spotted. Then they said "no auto", so I lost all interest in the car.

I drove a Lambo with a paddle shift with an automode. No thank you, give me the manual. Auto's (and paddle shifters) suck a lot of the fun out of a car for me.

Though I have (so far LOL) in fact run high 10s on a stock 6L80, with a converter and trans cooler of course.
