I find this interesting as well.
The initial testing by motor trend yielded better times with the manual transmission. After they continued to work with the A10, they eventually got a better time with it. Some people speculated that the manual transmission could have benefited from similar adjustments, and maybe it didn't get a fair shake.
The fact that GM chose a manual for their most track capable Camaro ever either means they’re holding back the A10 for a ZL1 1LE R
, or maybe GM really knows the manual is superior to the A10 on the track.
It's all very interesting for sure. I assumed GM was holding back the ZL1 6-speed Nurburgring times due to cost (having to compensate the track), but now I'm not so sure.
