At least thats what I experienced.

I haven't seen any numbers for the 6th Gen Camaro, but for the Stingray and Z06 the A8 equipped cars are quicker 0-60 and in the 1/4 mile. GM claims it is faster around the track, but I think we will find with time that it depends on the track and if use manual or drive mode on yh A8.
I will say this...Ryan at GPI can tune a tranny and we never got my 6L50 shifting as quick as this 8L90 does from the factory. Once every thing is up to operating temps it is hard to tell it even shifted at WOT because it is a constant pull, and this is a very tight converter so they aren't playing any games there.
