One thing that is great about the C8 is it will come with a proper double clutch gear box. The 8 spd torque converter tranny is decent but nothing like a DCT which they will need at this level to compete. A manual would be nice but not sure if they will provide one, at least initially.
Which is funny, because BMW is getting away from DCTs in their high end M cars and moving to standard 8 speed ZF autos.

That is true heavier cars and high torque engines don't get along well with either DCTs or manuals mainly due to transmission weight and the manuals get clunky. When you start talking about more than 700lb/ft or torque you are going to have to make a tough decision. There are production DCTs that can handle 1200lb/ft, but they are heavy and expensive.
