It's Baa-ack! The 2017 Camaro ZL1: the most badass-est Camaro EVER! (First Look) - Page 5

Wow, I’m very impressed. Totally surprised by the 10 speed auto.

Stingray23 · 03-15-2016, 11:44 PM

Whoa! This thing is no joke. Love it. Love the wheels.

Probably not the same size as the 1LE, therefore you could mess up the car's balance.

This thing looks incredible. I hope it (and the 1LE) exert a downward pressure on GT350R (and GT350, respectively) prices.

The part about the engine cutting spark during shifts to deliver an explosive shift.

AbsolutHank · 03-15-2016, 11:45 PM

As a manual guy, it's gonna be hard to pass up on the auto this time around.

ssrs2lt · 03-15-2016, 11:46 PM

Awesome

I'm 100% with you. Now I just wonder the cost of the auto option. I expect more than the $1,895 option for the 8-speed auto in the SS

No talk of a convertible. Though we have seen spy pictures of it testing...

No word of the vehicles the 10 speed is due for. They're very proud of this new transmission.

If it's a deal-breaker, I'm sure you can get a ZL1 chicklet in 2018 for $5...

Gotcha. Yes - it is EXTREMELY fast...the untrained ear would mistake it for some form of DCT...

Forthcoming. They're going to do an in-depth look at that in the future.

The 10-speed automatic has 7.39 overall ratio for smaller steps between gears. It enables the LT4 engine to remain at optimal rpm levels during acceleration, particularly when exiting corners, for quicker laps and lightning-quick responses on both up- and down-shifts.

Probably all you're going to get for now.

The fat kitty was last seen running to the litterbox.

The 10 speed is the only thing that is very surprising to me. Everything else seems to be exactly as I expected (which is absolutely awesome)! This thing is going to kick ass for sure! Thanks for "press coverage" Mr. Wyndham!
