Me too. I wish they would even try again with the M6 and maybe a better driver. Not saying the guy driving is a bad driver. Just there are better drivers out there.

I guess it is up to us.

I am not in any way trying to stir controversy. Just being real. As we all know, what is new and exclusive in a TV, electronic devices or car today will be obsolete in 2 years.

With that said, C8 will likely (at least in the beginning) run exclusively DCT. Probably a Tremec TR-9007 or 9008 (7 or 8 gear respectively). Given the TR- 9007 utilization in the GT500, one has to ask how long do you believe that it will take for a DCT gear to find it's way into Camaro? Most likely, Chevrolet will trickle one down to Gen 7, providing that the brand survives.

IMO, in a couple of years, the latest and greatest TC autos will be relegated to trucks and SUVs. As modern performance cars will be unable to compete against the newest DCTs and PDKs.

The guys/girls who grabbed an A10 hot off of the presses (2016/17) were/are the greatest beneficiaries of that (new) technology.

Enjoy the ride my friends. There will always be a faster car. We can all rest assured that newer and MUCH faster cars are being engineered by GM, Ford and Chrysler as I write this.

Honestly, fantasizing about a Gen7 1LE, Alpha II, LT5 w/DCT does give me a bit of a chubbie.

Until that becomes a reality... I am unreservedly sated to use my left foot for something other than a fulcrum against heavy Gs.

I'm good.

I almost forgot; In a PC world if ones opinion does not conform to that of the the masses it is ridiculed and discounted. My intent was not to offend, rather to suggest a different viewpoint.

"Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth."
Thomas Jefferson.

With that said, I believe that we are likely to see a comparison (that includes ZLE A10) when GT500 is released.

Peace. Out.

I'm hoping GM will at least provide one to C&D for Lightning Lap '19

Well said! everyone enjoy what you like. I chose a manual knowing it was not as fast as a A-10 but because I find it more involving. There will always be something faster, easier, newer.

Checkmate1 · 05-20-2019, 10:51 AM

I was at a local car meet and I was one of 2 cars with a MT.

People flocked to it and were like - you have a manual??!!!

Autos are fast but we all know Instant coffee is never as good as ground Whole Beans!

This is a thread about the ZL1 1LE A10. Not M6 vs A10. No one cares about the M6 anyways.

Mountain · 05-20-2019, 11:35 AM

This is a good question, actually...

Consider all the media attention the 2019 GT350 is getting. The ZL1 1LE A10 gets no features?? Interesting.
