Then why design a transmission that does not fit the corvette? Dont they realize that the A8 sucks? If its in the camaro, it should definitely be in the Corvette. Especially if its gonna help it perform better.
Hmm, your assumption is a new A10 mounted in a Vette will be perfect! Perhaps they should just install an A6, it had few reports of issues! Better yet and my only option, an M7!
Hmm, 755 and 715. So the manual must have been strengthened. .
Easy, like they did for the Z06 vs Base; change 1st gear ratio based on torque (and others for a reasonable spread) :
Base, Z51, GS 1st gear= 2.97:1
Z06 = 1st gear 2.29
Based on Torque ZR1 ~= 2.0:1 1st gear; we'll see! No doubt still would be tire limited off the line!
All articles I have read said both A8 and M7 are carry overs from the Z06 including ratios.
If that is accurate they obviously want to work within the existing platform to make the ZR1 that much more affordable just like Mopar did with the Challenger body style and then going to the Hellcat, Fatcat, and Demon (same base Challenger platform). Does make sense I guess but man the A8 trans in the ZR1 better be BEEFED up, b/c it took a dump in my old 2016 C7 Z with auto trans with only 6,400 miles on the clock, and making considerably less power.
