The gear ratios are; 1st-3.01, 2nd-2.07, 3rd-1.43, 4th-1.00, 5th-0.84, 6th-0.57. It seams to have 2 overdrive gears-5th & 6th for fuel economy.

I just found out the Pontiac G8 GXP with the manual has the exact same trans and ratios, except the final drive rear is 3.70:1 which will make it launch off the line better.

The G8 GXP manual will weigh only 163# more then the Camaro SS LS3 manual.

Pontiac estimates the G8 GXP manual to do 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and the 1/4 mile in 13.0@108mph.

What will the Camaro SS LS3 manual do then with the higher rear 3.45:1 gear.


a higher top speed? lol. we'll see once the camaro is actually being tested by car mags and such. . .then the same for the GXP
