It's already been discussed some where on the forums...basically I'm right and everyone else is wrong.

Looks like the Z06 would be slightly faster if both people could shift worth a $hit. About what you'd expect if the ZL1 s dragging around another 300LBS.

thegame

I want to see an A8 Z06 VS A A10 ZL1.

They ran it multiple times, so the one where the Vette driver had a shifting issue was only one of them.

Considering how close this was, I'm thinking the Camaro wins.

So you're saying that if the z06 had a archaic 6 speed auto it would loose badly and if it had a 5,4,3, speed auto it would be a joke?
Not to be nasty but I wonder.

thegame

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about

thegame

I don't think so. I know when left in drive and track mode the A8 shifts itself ridiculously fast. I can't see how the new 10 speed would be good enough to make up the difference in weight and aerodynamics. I do think an A10 ZL1 will surprise many manual Z06 cars though.

I know how everyone loves to pretend because they drive stick they are driving gods but all my experience shows usually it's missed gears and excuse making lol

I wouldn't care if they put 1000 hp in a Camaro.....it is STILL a Camaro. I've had Vettes my whole life and while there were many cars faster than mine.....I had a Corvette.

thegame

Yea but that attitude is as lame as Ferrari owners insulting a fast Corvette because it's "just" a Corvette. I have a Ferrariiiiiiii lol its just a shitty attitude for a true car enthusiasts to have.

I am glad the 6th gen Camaro is such a hit for Chevy.

2fastnow

you're normal, I meant to say does how many gears you have win the race?

dvilin

Bottom line both are bad azz and it comes down to a driver's race.

thegame

Oh I see, I didn't mean the more gears you have the better. I simply meant the A8 auto shifts so damn fast in drive that it would be VERY hard for a manual to beat it.

pdiddy972

Have you seen the Nurburgring video of the A10-equipped ZL1? I'd say the A8 has nothing on that tranny.

sunsalem

We already know A8s smokes M7s in a straight line...that ship has already sailed.
No doubt the A10 will do the same.

thegame

I have but I think the A8 has gotten a bad rap. Seriously listen to these shifts and tell me how it can be drastically faster? lol It's crazy

First of all if I wanted to buy a Ferrari I would have. Considering I've purchased new every generation from the C2 to the Present C7 I am a CORVETTE guy. I have Driven MANY Ferrari's as my brother has had about a 1/2 dozen of them including the one he has now a F430 Spider. I PREFER CORVETTES and there is NOTHING LAME ABOUT THAT. We were talking about the speed of the Camaro vs the Z06...I said I could care less about how fast it was....fact is the HELLCAT would clean both their clocks ....I prefer to drive a Corvette. And, if you find that insulting or me having a shitty attitude SO BE IT.

2fastnow

No, I was commenting on your quote about a 10 speed coming soon.
I'm asking you or guest's hear 'do more gears equate to a faster car?
I don't mean a 2 speed to an 8 speed. Does a 10 speed trans make the car faster than a 8 speed? And why.

thegame

No , your guess is as good as mine. I simply meant the autos from every real world experience I have seen are faster than the manuals. I know guys like to pretend like they are some amazing driver but every real world experience I have seen with cars that have around equal power the auto wins.

Now the reason I would like to see an A8 VS an A10 ZL1 is I assume since GM developed the A10 for the ZL1 and decided to use that instead of the A8 there must be some performance gains. At least one would hope.
