I hated it after driving a few comp packs on tracks and with friends.
when rumors were abound that they were not offering the 6MT in the comp pack I got very upset because I didn't want to drive a lesser car because of my transmission choice. Win-win whether you go base or comp.
One of the biggest and most pleasing surpises on the G8x (for me) is it's the same car with a different tune. The suspension, everything else is the same. Every option (with the exception of the black badges) that can be optioned for the competition model, including wheels, can be optioned for the base/6MT model. It's fantastic.

Agreed, it also has the nice effect that comp models aren’t a near $10k extra. You pay mainly for the extra power which is reasonable. Win-win whether you go base or comp.
