I think the Corvette, as the halo car, will get the Gen V V-8 when the C7 debuts. GM won't do anything to decrease the status of that vehicle. Especially, since the price difference between models has gotten smaller.
I have seen a couple of rumors that this vehicle will only have a 2 year run, similar to the 95-96 Impala SS.
When the new platform comes out, there will be a model revision and the SS will become a performance variant of a new model. But who knows?
I will order the manual, but I think they will have to offer an automatic transmision. A lot of folks will use this as a performance oriented family vehicle.
