Red line MTL shifts about the best I have seen. I use it in all my gearboxs. Truck 230,000 miles same fuild (tested -50 to 100 degrees) Shifts better than new. All cars that come in here for service work get Redline MTL.

As a note, the owner's manual requires a fluid that meets Dexron III specs for the C5/Z06.
I have been using the AMSOIL ATF for the last two seasons. Still on my original stock tranny (no rebuilds) after four years of hard track use.

I do run DOT legal race tires, normally either Kumho V710, Hoosier R3S04, or Goodyear GS-CS and I do have a tranny cooler. I ran my first driver's education event without a tranny cooler and got a tranny high temp warning after a few sessions. Had a tranny cooler installed as part of my SCCA T1 preps.
