I am pretty sure the reason why the manual is not in the GT is because DOD does not work with manual transmissions so why make a non-dod GT when people can just buy the GXP.

Are we talkin L99 like came in the b-body's? (265ci 4.3L V8)
BTW, G8 gets the LS3, no Dod/AFM for that.
Also 3.27 A6 (3.70 M6) rear vs. 2.92 Auto , so the GXP should be much quicker.
GM is stating 13.0 1/4 mile, 4.7 0-60; not bad for a stocker if those number hold true. LS3 will make more power than L76, you're starting with 40hp more and from what we know so far (402 rating is because of restrictive intake/exhaust compared to the vette ratings, so there's probably 20hp right there....just like in the GT).
Just going to come down to price difference--$5-6K no way, 3-4K hmm: 40 hp, better gears, better seats, brembos, better suspension, better front fascia...
Here's some pics of a GXP, in Michigan:
