No 8L90 8-speed for Corvette C7 base in 2015

Apparently, this is one way to motivate buyers to buy 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray cars that are clogging up dealers lots currently in spite of growing discounts being offered to a few existing buyers.

The other aspects of 8-speed being MIA in 2015 base car:  base car is marketed as a FUEL EFFICIENT high performance car, calibrating the transmission electronics to actually produce fuel savings over the outgoing 6-speed is taking longer than originally anticipated. 

Finally, 2015 is the first year of Corvette C7 Z06, offering the same transmission on both Z06 and base variants may cut into slim already group of Z06 buyers.
