No confirmations, but I think we all knew it was a matter of time or will be a matter of time before the A10 hits the SS.

Ehh, if that actually was the pic of said A10 SS in that article, I would think it would have camo on it. Aren't the 2019's getting a refresh? Unless they are testing the A10 in a current year SS. Not sure if GM would do that. Otherwise it was probably just the author's imagination.
With that said, I think most believe the 2019 will get the A10. |

OEM's do this all the time. New powertrain in old gen mule, send the drivers out to gather telemetry, adjust calibration, rinse-n-repeat.

Since the Mustang GT is getting the A10 I would hope GM would be right there with the SS, but wouldn't be the first time GM dropped the ball concerning the competition.

It has been speculation and bordering on common sense for a while that 2019 will get the 10 Speed.

Often the timing that the powertrain guys need to get vehicles to test new engines / transmissions runs ahead of the timing of available properties for the new vehicle, so initial testing is done with mules developed from the prior gen or similar vehicle.

Keep in mind that Ford and GM co-developed this 10-speed. Ford was first to put it in trucks, GM was first to put it in cars (ZL1). Both are in the process of ramping up to full volume, so expect that they will prioritize which vehicles get it when. Hint....ZL1 aside, profit margin for Camaro is no where near profit margin for K2 pickups and utilities. Camaro WILL get it, pickups and utes will be (and have been) getting it first.

These TC shudder issues are probably going to expedite the transition of A8 to A10 for all models.

Yes - the whole Camaro lineup gets the A10 for the 2019 model year
