A10 in a 2016-2018?
Maybe it’s a stupid question, but theoretically, would it be possible to install the 10 speed transmission that the 2019-2020s have in a 2016-2018 SS Camaro? I’m only asking because I plan on keeping the car forever, and in doing so I would assume that I would want to upgrade or change the transmission at some point considering the A8 doesn’t strike me as a very reliable transmission.

Anything is possible but you would be way, way better off selling or trading your car off and getting one that has an A10.

Yeah, I bet the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze.

The 8L90 is tougher. You would save a crap load of cash by just swapping the converter with an aftermarket one and a tune when the time comes...not by trying to swap the 10 speed in there.

Undoubtedly took a downgrade in looks, could've probably put a better sounding set of npp exhaust for what he paid in trade too. Npp isn't terrible, neither is the stock, but at that point I personally couldn't trade and spend more for the less preferable design and slight upgrade in exhaust note.

Looks is a personal thing.
IMHO, I like the 2020 look better than the '18. And a '19 is easily converted to look like a '20.

I was planning on taking it to the dealer in a couple of months (I only had 14k miles left on my warranty) if it continued, but a few weeks later a guy speeding couldnt stop and totalled my 2016. So I now have a 2019 2SS with even better options package than my 16 2SS and have the 10 speed. It is an amazing trans compared to the 8 speed. totally changes the driving experiance.
