Road coarse the A-8 ?
Has any one had the 16 SS camaro with a A-8 been on a road coarse yet ?
I had a 14 Z-51 C-7 with a A-6 at Willow Springs, Lasted five minutes, Trans over heated and went into limp mode. I now have a 16 SS with a A-8, This Trans seems much better than the A-6 and i want to take it to the track. Will it over heat or be OK ? thanks for the input........ |

From what I understand, the Camaro has much better cooling than the early C7s did, so it should be fine for track use. Haven't been on a road course with mine, but if anyone here has maybe they can confirm.

You'll be fine, they tested the camaros to last in a track setting hence the track warranty.

I have. You won't have a problem with heat. I will stop there as I have commented in other threads on my opinion from a performance perspective but you don't have to worry about heat.

Camaro will not have an automatic trans for the '17 1LE....Manual only....I'd tend to think that's for a good reason....

To keep the price down? To keep traditionalists from having a meltdown? To keep the A10 exclusive to the top tier Camaro?
