I think the root issue are cars to too fast and powerful to deal with a manual nowadays.

This new vette looks good in the OP but other pics I have seen it looks pretty odd looking, vette design pieces added on to a mid-engine sports cars.

definitely seems like a bang for a buck car, even more so then a normal vette.
high revving NA engines are the most fun paired with a manual, but they also pay the largest performance price for the loss of gears and slower shifting.

A big grunty engine like this sees less of a penalty.
