Currently the new supercharged Vette will only be available with an automatic for the same reason....

Yes I stand corrected. I had that particular fact backwards. I was actually looking to purchase the new CTS-V and found an article stating the same that the auto handles the torque better but the down side is it takes a little away in 6th gear WOT horsepower. However, the CTS-V and the corvette in your post are more powerful than even a tuned 335i.
Really just get what you can stand to drive day in and day out and don't look back. No regrets, have fun.
