Whats more cost efficient?

Buy a Camaro 19 and do bumper swaps.
Or a 2016 and do a A10 swap?

I want A10 without the redesign

I like this...yeah at this point better to buy slightly used and get best of both worlds (6.1 gen looks with the Supercharged V8 and A10)

Bumper by a long shot. You don't want to switch out the tranny. Talk about expensive and it would invite potential issues.

We had a guy on here who was talking about doing an A10 swap into a 1LE a while back, and then supercharging it.

His logic was that it was the lightest of this chassis with the best components (SC from ZL1, trans from ZL1). I always thought it was completely idiotic since he was adding the things that make up the weight difference between the two models, but he gave up anyway so we never really got to that point.

So... buy a ZL1.

what do you mean the 2019 ss a10 is different from the zl1 a10? i haven't seen anything to suggest that.

but all things considered i don't think the a10 is worth trading for another SS redesign or otherwise.

if your gonna trade it might as well be up to a zl1.

I don't think many people actually expected the 10 spd in the SS to be the EXACT same transmission that ZL1 is using. It doesn't need to be as heavy duty...but it is derived from the same design as the ZL1 transmission, so I don't see this as being a big deal, unless its a much lazier tune than the ZL1 10 speed, but I doubt that.
