TapShift Update - 60% faster?
 

Does anyone know if the TapShift software update for the 2012 Camaros will work with the 2010's and 2011's?

DETROIT – When the new 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 arrives this spring, performance car enthusiasts will experience the hands-on driving satisfaction of a “stick” with the ease of an automatic transmission due to General Motors’ newly improved TapShift technology.

Since its introduction several years ago, TapShift has allowed drivers to control up- and down-shifts with paddle shifters. For 2012, GM powertrain engineers implemented a patent-pending software algorithm that improves tap response time by up to 60 percent compared to the previous system. No hardware changes were required for the upgrade.

Hmm:popcorn:

This question is popping up everywhere and we're all dying to know

this is very interesting for you auto guys.:)

tell me about it. im already thrown back in my seat...i wonder if this means my wheels will chirp now :drool:

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

I wonder if this is software specific tho..anyone know what ecm is in the zl1? unfortunately we have the loved by few and hated by many, the infamous direct injection famous Bosch ecm:iono:

I wonder even if not, if it is something Vince could learn from and duplicate for us

^^^^This.

I think Oolie's idea might be the best bet. GM stated it was an algorithm they used so if a similar algorithm was developed, it might be possible to duplicate the result

Well said! lol. Seriously, I'm interested too!

:popcorn:

I tested a update that Vince did last month to make the TapShift hit as hard as the Sport mode.

While it did look like the taps shifted a little faster then OEM. It never had that hard hit like sport mode has.

He was thinking it might be because sport mode knows when its going to Shift and has extra time to get ready for it.

But maybe he will look into more and find a way. :popcorn: It would be very nice.

Tap shifting in my car became a whole new animal when I tuned the transmission firmness. The response was a little better, and the wheels chirp 1-3 gear, pretty crazy and a huge difference!

If we can get this it would be amazing I'm sure and a lot of fun.

Doesn't Vince already do this for us?
