- 10L90 option on ZL1 1LE and the SS 1LE (ZLE announced mid-2019 because there are race teams moving to it on the GT4.R program)

The SS 1LE should offer the 10L90 as the assembly layout uses the ZL1 driveline and undermounts. The 10L80 would be a poor choice for a track model transmission. The automatic 1LE SS without AFM or solenoid pulsing is the only thing that will keep me in the Camaro family at this point. GM ****ed up trying to mask cylinder deactivation feels and now Silverado is losing to Ram and Camaro is losing to Challenger. Congrats GM, you're going to be 3rd-4th place in your home market very soon. And moving Buick to China isn't going to save you.

If you have investments tied to GM, you should only be playing them short. Longs on GM will bite back before 2H'20.
Fat chance for that one. They aren't going to give 1LE a separate engine tune from the SS.

I know GM won't give an automatic with a restated EPA estimate, since it would require a new EPA certification and likely a gas guzzler tax. But just getting the 10L90 in there is all that's needed, as the rest can be dealt with by other means.

Hold on right there. Where are you getting that from???

The Camaro GT4.R is going to dump its Xtrac 6-speed sequential for a traditonal-designed 10-speed?

Punctuation matters.

That says “Stingray (slash) Z06,” which means both the Stingray and the Z06. Besides, that’s just a generic placeholder in the chart anyway, since the real model names haven’t been released yet. The latest update just says “Corvette,” with no other changes.

Also, keep in mind that the rollout cadence for Corvette is probably Stingray at launch, Z06 late in the model year, Grand Sport in year 2 and ZR1 in year 3. So GS and ZR1 would not show up on a 2020 roster.

I would not be surprised if Z06 came earlier in year 1 in order to have a higher priced option generating $$$ asap.
