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.

^^^^Why are the number estimates for the LS3 manual Camaro so much slower then the G8 GXP manual estimates 0-60 and the 1/4 1320 ???
