So with that said I don't see the 8 speed integrated into the Corvette for a few more years and not in the 15 or they would not have charged for the auto in the 14, some what like happened in the first year C6 when they knew the next year their would be a change. Just my thoughts.
Ford and GM are working on 9/10 speed transmissions.

GM is doing an in-house 8 speed that might work its way into Corvette in a few years, but for now, GM's official statement on the automatic is a 6-speed.
