Is manual transmission available on 2017 1LT V6?

Just for fun, I was on the Chevrolet site playing with different Build Your Own Camaros. Configuring a 2017 1LT V6, the site shows the 8 speed automatic transmission as standard equipment and lists no option for the 6 speed manual transmission. Has Chevrolet dropped the six speed in the 1LT?

Changing the trim level to 2LT DID show the manual is available. Is this just a goof up on the website or is the 1LT only available as an automatic? Just seems strange.

For 2017 it's now the 1LS with the 6-speed manual transmission. 1LT comes standard with 8-speed auto. 2LT and above have both options.

No kidding? Wow, didn't know that. I just configured a 1LS manual the same way I'd want a 1LT (except for trans difference) and it came up about $700 cheaper than the LT. That's less than the cost of the auto trans. But otherwise it seems the LS can be built to be identical to an LT.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, funny how the $$ works out in GM's favor
