Are there better build dates to look for? It doesn't seem like GM has a solution at this point and dealers are giving owners the run around. This will be a toy and not a daily driver.
The 2019 Camaro SS refresh gets the 10-speed auto. It has been reliable so far in the Camaro ZL1.

The 8-speed is an engineering failure that should be avoided at all costs.

Simply Google "GM 8 speed transmission problems"
