This is simply awesome.
Man I PRAY that the 6th gen Camaro gets this, or a version of it. It would just be so damned awesome. I want it. It would be yet another big WIN in addition to the LT1 over the new Mustang.

Its called jealousy, and the snub-nosed "I'm better than you" trend that American stuff just isn't as good as the fancy foreign stuff.

The 8 speed is going in the Silverado so I would expect to see it in the Camaro.

But what people who don't care to understand is that its those things that make a Corvette great. Not because they're 'old school' but because they work. Pushrod engines are more space efficient, which means you can have a nice low hood & fender with your big honkin' V8. The transverse mounted composite leafsprings reduce unsprung weight, lower the centre of mass, weigh less, and reduce (if not eliminate) the need for anti-roll bars. This new transmission shifts faster, presumably can operate smoother, and I bet costs less than a dual clutch automatic.
