Doubt that engine with see the light of day in the 6th gen Camaro, probably not the C7 Corvette neither.

It's on YouTube and has been linked in this thread.

The video actually just says "track geared six speed manual".

Doesn't say it's different than standard ZL1 6 speed.

That's awesome...no way was I going to miss out on this A10 fifty I have coming.

Really anticipating what all our forum members of this 1le have to say first hand...I fear the future reviews on our way are going to really dangle a carrot for me on this, but fairly confident my current itch will be scratched. Just glad I live a good clip from all the road courses or it may drive me nuts.

Man, to have the jack to own an A10 & a this standard only 1le platform...should be illegal to have so much fun. GM is simply kicking ass here.

I like it........ I like it very much......

It looks like it is a ZL1X. There is an X on the side of the wing.

The upper bolt for the strut to knuckle must be slotted. Not something Ive seen before.... I like the wheels, but honestly prefer the standard ZL1 wheels. If they were as wide and had the same dish as the ZL1 1LE ones would be cool. I can definitely see many people adding the ZL1 1LE lower chin spoiler to the standard ZL1. How many people want to change their SS 1LE wheels for the wider ZL1 1LE wheels/tires? What kind of affect would it have on the SS 1LE handling characteristics?

I want the new wheels!! They look awesome and fill out the fender wells like the wheels and tires did on the 5th gen ZL1.

Just don't like the name at all...

I don't care for the name either, but it's better than ZL1 with ZL2 package. I've always thought that was the dumbest thing on the Vette. Just call it a Z07, or Z06R, Z06X, whatever. I like ZL1X since it has an X on the wing already.

Ahh, I think was watching the video and at 24 seconds in it says something like "track geared 6 speed". I took that to mean they changed it. But your probably right. Since they actually did change it for the ZL1 to be what they wanted in a track trans. It'll be the same "track geared" one that already comes in the ZL1 in the 1LE variant.

I'm a new zl1 owner just two weeks. I traded in my 2014 GTR for this car. The magnetic ride suspension is so nice compared to the GTR.

Before this came out I was searching for 19" wheels for my track duty and some better rubber. My guess is with just this, most guys will be very close to the 1le version with small changes.

I have put KW coilover's on my cars in the past so you could do that too, but it will ruin the killer ride. I think I would rather have a slightly stiffer spring good rubber and call it a day I'm not scared my zl1 is a beast.

A 3/27 build, mods and a 1500 mile break in puts me potentially beyond the season start anyway.

Dilemma... do I cancel my current order, suffer through one more season with my GT3, buy this race ready version (3 seconds is a LOT) and be ready for 2018.?

And yes, I know, there will always be faster iron...

If you're truly buying a race car, then I'd say wait and get the 1LE or Z28 if it's still going to be an option at some point.

I'm with you brother. I think the whole car is hideous. You wouldn't catch me in that thing riding around, unless I took her for a hot lap at the track

There's way too much going on with the car, all the way around.

Also a bit confused that the 10spd isn't offered. I wonder if that will come after the LCI versions of the car debut to pick interest back up.

It could also be that the 10 spd just isn't as good as they thought, and maybe they are looking at a nice dual clutch to go with it!

I think the biggest reason the M6 is the only tranny is because that's always been part of the 1LE package. I'd say the A10 would make this car even faster, but they didn't want to "taint" the 1LE formula.

Bada$$ Camaro. After reading 13 pages of this, all I can say is...Wow! I am totally speechless.
