2019 Camaro ZL1 1LE GM Authority Pressroom Highlights 10-Speed Automatic




The fastest and most track-capable Camaro ever is going to be inquired about by many, and here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis, we were spot-on and ready to let our readers know about the new available 10-speed automatic transmission on board. One reason why the GM Pressroom had an in-depth feature about it this last week was because during its development, the engineers really pushed the limits of the automatic transmission, with the ultimate goal of making it one more half-second faster than its standard manual counterpart on the Milford Road Testing Course.

On longer tracks like the Nurburgring where you can really dig and take full advantage of the ability to shift faster than ever, and drivers will be able to expect to whittle off several seconds from lap times nailed down by means of the six-speed manual ZL1 1LE. The transmission is now fully optimized for speed, and due to sporting ten gears and very unique Track Mode calibrations, you always have the ability to be in the perfect gear when you are engaging off or on the throttle. The addition of the new transmission not only saves time, it allows for more performance options, and provides standard paddle shifters to ultimately brandish a more engaging driving experience.



The electronic limited slip differential, performance traction management system, as well as transmission all saw unique calibrations during its development, and the front and rear multimatic dampers have been tuned specifically to help with weight transfer during the now-quicker shifts. Director of Chevy passenger car and crossover marketing Steve Majoros claimed recently that “This ultimate 1LE is another appealing option that is true to its racing heritage, and an example of just what customers want.” Other unique features such as the specific air deflectors and dive planes on the front fascia produce grip-generating down force that gives the car faster turning capability.

When you are moving at a pace that is descriptive by no other means than “breakneck,” you're going to notice the outright benefit of adjustable suspension: front and rear dampers offer vehicle and wheel control that is off-the-charts exact. The lighter dampers and wheels, along with thinner rear glass and a fixed-back rear seat make the ZL1 50 pounds lighter than the outgoing model, and the dual-zone automatic climate control will help you be at optimum comfort level in any weather conditions you choose to conquer.



The specific lightweight forged aluminum wheels are an inch wider, and also an inch smaller in the diameter, front, and rear then standard ZL1 wheels, and are paired exclusively with the new summer-only Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires. These all do their part in ultimately and thrillingly tying the package together with the ultimate in grip-and-handling ready prime racing prowess!
