Do you want a ZL1 automatic transmission option?
 

Alright guys in the online chat (full transcript) the guys from GM said they are interested in knowing if there is interest in an automatic option for the ZL1. I know I personally desperately want them to make an automatic option and if they do please put some higher quality paddle shifters on it!

So the question is. Do you want to see an automatic option on the ZL1?

Edit:
Now here is the important part. At C5 Fest I talked with John Fitzpatrick who was already aware of the poll and he told me that if I got it to 1,000 total responses then he would give a final answer about the transmission.

UPDATE:
This morning at the Camaro Homecoming in Oshawa GM officially announced that an automatic transmission will be available for the ZL1. Thank you to everyone who voted on this poll. Our voices were heard. Thank you to GM for listening to your loyal customers!!

Absolutely yes.


I will/want to buy a manual. However, I'd like to see the Z be available to as many enthusiasts as possible!!

I think that especially given that the magnetic ride control system on the ZL1 allows it to be used for everyday driving it makes sense for them to offer an automatic. I would absolutely love to see an automatic with paddle shifters like you see in european cars, something better than the buttons on the existing Camaro anyways. I would absolutely buy one.

Yes, please. That would be stellar.

As much as I grew up a manual transmission guy, it's just too much of a pain in rush-hour traffic.

In fact, if I had it to do all over again, I absolutely would have ordered my 2010 SS with an automatic.

Yes

Yep. Cant buy one w/out automatic. Just lost a customer.

I couldn't imagine ordering a ZL1 with an auto, but I voted yes. Why not, for those that want it.

why not lol....

I say yes to an auto..

Nice!! Let's keep the votes coming!! So far we have a whopping 65% in favor of offering an automatic!!!

No way. Why kill the fun. GT500 owners would laugh at you. :laugh:

Definitely yes.

Absolutely. The technology continues to improve in automatics. Plus, I'm mainly interested in drag racing which gives a real advantage, aside from the rare M6 driver who can drive stellar. Moreover, they're meant to be driven, and I'd use mine as a daily driver even as a low 11-second car.
