Yea this is kind of like a G8 GT but with a manual. The GT was the best bang for the buck by far. It was $10K less than the GXP and outsold the GXP 5 to 1.

Loading up the SS with a million bells & whistles is kind of like when my cable company makes me pay $100 for 300 channels I don't ever watch just to get 5 good ones. I get lane departure warning and parking assist but no manual transmission? On a 4-door Vette? It's just tough paying $44K plus GG tax on top of everything else.

Wait 2 or 3 years and watch for deep discounts on the SS.
The SS is special order so there won't be any discounts., not big ones anyway. Dealers just won't order them because people won't buy them.
