This could have been predicted IMO. If you look back at the poll that was done on here awhile back twice as many people wanted to see the auto option be available than not.

Most manufacturers in cases like this would look at the sales figures for both transmissions and take that in to account when building a new model, so to maximize it's market potential. This scenario suggests that GM didn't do that at the beginning. |

New Generations of Automatics
To be honest with you, I'd trust the auto in the new ZL1. My 69 427 has a T400 and its a blast to 2 Foot drive. Its more "predictable" through the RPM range. My '11 has the gears.
When my dealer calls me when orders are acceptable, I have no problem saying, "yes, I said make it an automatic"

Just history repeating itself, over half of the original ZL-1's were automatic too!

2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
