Don't know if I could give up the Heel & Toe double Clutch downshifts for this new A10 Tech marvel. I test drove a 2SS with the A8 and it kicks you in the butt when it shifts in Track mode! But it had a delay when downshifting, would not be good for Autocross or Road-racing. The few tests of the ZL1 showed very little delay on the downshifts. I doubt you will find a ZL1 any dealer will let you Spank! Besides the break-in period is 1500 miles, I'm not buying a ZL1 used for demo rides!

Wonder if they will put the 10 speed in a Z/28?
No one thought it would happen for the Z06... |

I'm still up in the air, i'm more of a die hard Manual guy but it's tough to argue the benefits this auto would provide in a high HP car like the ZL1. I imagine there will be a significant difference in 1/4 mile times between the Auto and Manual, add that to the fuel efficiency it provides and consistency in launches I might seriously consider becoming a paddle shifter. I'd have to come into some money first because it's going to be out of my price range regardless... for now. But I would LOVE to own one

Not certain there's ever been an auto option as of late for the Z28... Nothing confirmed for Z06 for 2017 for the 10 speed yet... Only 8spd avail Only confirmations from GM for the 10 were the ZL1 exclusive for full model 17 and "LATE" availability for the Escalades for 2017... In 2018 tho the floodgates will be opened with the 10...

Sounds like the availability of the auto will be spotty to start with, good news for those of us who drive sticks. Straight to the front of the line...

My A8 does just fine, actually, road racing for what I do with it.. and I didn't have any issues with it down/up shifting on me and was perfectly happy with it. The only thing I don't like is PSM exit timer is too short for times when you can't pass and you're held up by slower drivers. |

A good auto trans is always fun and especially in a car like this.
For those drag and high horse power highway pulls -auto's are better. This car in a manual will be a handful and fun! |
