Right now, the 6spd manual will only be available for the G8 GXP. They reason they dont have teh 6spd manual available right now is because the G8 GT uses AFM where it shuts down half the engine. 6 spd manual does not go well with this, and as of rightnow they cannot get the two to work together.
What woudl happen is if G8 GT got a 6spd manual, the engine would be different,w hich means more $$$ to spend on recert. a new engine/trans as well as make it pass emissions. and its possible that this combo, the L98/TR6060 combo, will get hit with the guzzler tax.
