What do you think of the A8 in your Z06?

It's more than adequate; in fact, if nobody had ever driven the A10 transmission, it likely would still be the best torque converter auto out there. That said, the M7 in the Z06 with its lack of bog and extra gear means that my ruling is: Z06 = M7, ZL1 = A10.
A fair and balanced opinion, finally, thanks Can'tHave2MuchHP.

My only small gripe with the A8 is the programmed paddle response time---even though the A8 appears to be mechanically a bit slower than the A10, the factory TCM tune also contributes to everyone's low opinion. The shudder with the old fluid is a major faux pas, of course. Other than that, though, it's near perfect, especially once tuned.

M6 has a bog issue. I am in the works the Chevy customer support and tac and having no luck in fixing it. It is now come to the point that it is under the lemon law and I have had to retain a lawyer to get them to fix it. GM is well aware of the situation behind the scenes and is not doing anything to fix it because they do not want to issue a recall. It’s very disappointing because I enjoy the car not to mention that half my family works or has worked for this company. It is pathetic how customer support, Chevy customer support to be exact has all the answers just to spin you around. Customer support once said to me this is normal. wtf. It is not normal for a car to fall on his face or drop 5000 RPM when you shift from 1st to 2nd or try to take off from a dead dig it falls right on Face.

Yeah I don’t see the bog as being a recall or lemon law either. Learn to deal with it or get an A10 Auto!��

i do wonder why they just wouldn't issue an updated tune to be flashed and let everyone be happy. or if they would just let me tune it to fix, but not void my warranty I'd be fine.

let us know how it works out, i've not seen anyone go this far up the chain about it yet.

besides this sorcery with blipping the throttle at low rpm, i love the M6.

Just ask Can'tHave2MuchHP and his team to type you a manual.

There is a big long thread that TRAVIS created, they had TAC, the engineers etc put a box in the car and all that. once they saw what was going on the engineers and GM went dark on him and nothing was done. That's when I sold my M6 and bought the A10. GM wont fix the M6 issues.

I let my Brother in law drive it (944 owner, manual diehard), and once he found the ‘downshift trick’ (throttle blip) to enter PSM, he was a believer.

I am going to test drive an A10 tomorrow. How do i do the trick you are reffering to?

It’s not a trick really. It’s in the manual. All you do is put the car in PTM mode. If on the highway and looking to roll run someone, you blip the gas and the car downshifts to get ready for combat.

Well Thank you very much Enzo for the title of sucker for GM!�� I just stated my view on the matter and not a reflection on any particular person that owns a ZL1!
