I currently drive a 2012 Camaro ZL1 with the 6 speed auto transmission and it sure handles the advertized 580 BHP from the LSA 6.2 liter V-8 with no problems. The auto tranny is .1 second faster for 0-60 and 1/4 mile E.T.'s. than the manual 6 speed. Anyway, if anyone up the line in or out of the C7 Covette food chain can answer this, it will help me decide if I move over to a new Vette or stay with the slightly portly, Triple Black, Bad Boy ZL1.

Sir it is an honor to have you here.

There is still a bit of confusion regarding the transmission in this car. Whether the current 6 speed automatic will remain or be updated to a 8 speed automatic. Either will be great.
