- Upgrade to the A10

Anything else?
No way.

The original design is almost perfect, I can only think of a few minor tweaks to make it better, and I don't care about the A10 with my properly tuned A8. The A10 is better, but not that much, and I love the bang WOT shifts that the A8 has more of. The ideal automatic trans would be a theoretical 9-speed that has an extra gear between the A8's fourth and fifth gear, with a proper tune (and paddle switches that activate on release instead of at the end of their travel ).

GM lost a ZL1 sale with me originally because of no configurability, and they lost me completely with the 2019 refresh plus the disbanding of the entire Camaro engineering team. The lights were only kept on by the janitors for the last 5 years.
