Question Z51 and 6 speed auto?

Trying to find out if the Z51 C7's will be available with the 6 speed paddle shift tranny. I left the knee for my clutch leg in Vietnam and have to live with the "Euro" tranny Trend of "floppy paddles" as the guys on Top Gear used to call them. I currently drive a 2012 Camaro ZL1 with the 6 speed auto transmission and it sure handles the advertized 580 BHP from the LSA 6.2 liter V-8 with no problems. The auto tranny is .1 second faster for 0-60 and 1/4 mile E.T.'s. than the manual 6 speed. Anyway, if anyone up the line in or out of the C7 Covette food chain can answer this, it will help me decide if I move over to a new Vette or stay with the slightly portly, Triple Black, Bad Boy ZL1.
