I have been dealing in musclecars cross border for a long time and aware of the exchange rate differential. I assume your car must be pretty well optioned compared to mine ?

Do some research on a new 2021 LT1 with the 10 speed auto and see how much the Canadian MSRP is , has to be low 40s . My USA MSRP is 36,690 which is a 10 speed auto option and a $100 wheel option only. No such low optioned LT1 with auto trans exists with this MSRP.

Seems most dealers don't know jack. I was lucky and found my 2021 on a lot 10 miles south of me and jumped right away. Mine was made in Sept of this year. I was waiting on another car with the wild cherry tint coat and it is still sitting on a train around Orlando FL. Once i get 500 miles on it i may do another Soler ported TB and a mod or two and then down the road do more.

Have yet to really get on it since i am at 110 miles. But feels good when i do give it a little stomp.

Good to hear you like the LT1, how could anybody not. I have a Soler 91 mm TB off my 2019 GS corvette, will be putting that on my car when I get it.

Mike is good to deal with. The LT1 is fine with the Camaro but i just got rid of a 2019 C7 with the same engine and it was like a slug vs my Camaro. Something had to be wrong with the factory tune in my C7.

I had a 2015 base manual stingray, and my GS was a manual car also. My 2015 was 12.0 quick in the the 1/4 and after a tune, 180 stat, mid pipe that eliminates the secondary cats, and maybe 30lbs lighter, it ran 11.78. No way a stock SS or a LT1 camaro on factory OE tires will be running those ET's. My 2019 GS felt just as quick, is 125lbs heavier, but a much more aggressive 1, 2, 3 gears in the trans.

Is your LT1 a 10 speed auto? wish there was a simple way to do a 2.85 gear versus the 2.77 thats there.

OP you might get a slight bump in rebate money if Chevy gets off their arse and really wants to sell some Camaro's.

Curious, when did you order? I may have missed it if posted already.

Yes. When i did the lemon law on my 2019 C7 i never even knew about the LT1 and bought a Spark to drive for a year or so. Then i was doing a search on auto trader and saw a LT1 Camaro. So i lost some big time money buying them two cars before getting the LT1.

Once i get more miles on the LT1 i will see how well this A10 does. Seems to be fine for now

My C7 had many problems from the get go, My C6 was 10 time better.

Goal is to get car easily into the high 11s after a good conservative tune BY Janetty Racing.
I could not get my Rotofab to fit. It needs a longer joining tube in the middle. But the IM is really cool coming close to MSD at the high end and does better in the mid range than stock and the MSD at one third of the MSD cost. But you made a good choice going with Ted. Ask him if he will post his opinions and results. Ted and crew will figure out all the details. For now I shelved mine.

You won't need much of a tune with that setup unless you have Ted dig into the transmission. If you just put tires on your A10 LT1 in good air 11s are already there stock. Let Ted guide you.
