ZL1=Auto transmission=many left-out options! For one thing it does not have launch control,next it doesn't have the ability to shift to 1st after the first start and after that it starts out in 2nd. Replace the hard to reach buttons with paddles cause those buttons are harder than hell to find when turning the wheel! I'm surprised the test drivers have not complained about the little buttons when going around a corner!
This auto transmission deal looks like it was taken out of a truck and just slapped in the car just so it could be sold with an auto trans. My opinion Chevy screwed up this option and needs to reprogram the computer to down shift too 1st in setting 5. |

You know there are NO SHIFT BUTTONS on the ZL1 - it has Shift Paddles. And, the transmission (A6) has been tricked out to stay in the torque RPM range automatically when slowing down so there is no delay. I LIKE IT! |

I'm with you Blake. I would love to see some firmware additions. I got a few ideas myself.

you know it's desperation when the ZL-1 manual makes the cover.:facepalm:

So I was curious about cleaning due to the air extractor. And I found This on section 10-98. 'Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Regularly clean bright metal parts with water or chrome polish on chrome or stainless steel trim, if necessary.' Is this just a general statement. Because the only stainless steel part on the car was on the Carbon fiber edition spoiler? With everything I have been reading about gm trying to get more carbon fiber parts main stream on more of their vehicles. I am really hoping the carbon fiber edition comes out. |

There are aftermarket kits available to defeat "skip-shift" for around $30.

Then again, if you're driving the ZL1 slow enough to have the 1-4 skip shift to kick in, maybe you should be driving a Toyota! :sm0: |

I'm very interested to know what the auto trans can and cannot do, since I'll probably be ordering an auto trans...only because the wife needs to drive it too, and traffic here is horrendous to say the least. Any other quirks from the auto trans...lag time in shifting Up/Down? Does the computer blip the throttle when downshifting? Thanks! |
