Thumbs down Motive Gears says no Camaro Gears

I spoke with the guys at the booth of Motive Gears at SEMA today.
I would have to say I was VERY disappointed in their reaction to producing gears for the Camaro.

He stated that they are 4 years from even bothering with it because he feels there is no market for it. He said that first owners of this car are not going to change the gears in it so it would be a waste of time and money for them to develop them.

I said he was wrong....Maybe if we stay on some of these companies and keep asking for it, then maybe they will change their minds. But for right now Motive has no plans on the Camaro anytime soon.

Do your work ZZcamaro. We need gears. If someone offers 3.73 im in. I figure gmpp headers and 3.73 gears will make me happy for a little bit of time.

New camaros badly need a different gear. Theres no need for fourth gear on the stock rev limiter to take the car to over 160mph. Does nothing but kill bottom end.

Anybody have a suggestion of other companies I should talk to about it?
I will be at the show on Wed also, so if you think I shoudl talk to somebody else speak up and I will see what I can do.

I am willing to allow them to use my vehicle also over the winter...so we have some bargaining power here!!!

So who should I ask?

which guys did you ask? cus I've got it on a very good word that Motive is working on a set of gears already.... not a full center section, but just the gears themselves and they should be done shortly.... I've been trying to get them over here to see how much we want gears. they are not going to be cheap tho.

Exactly!, I don't klnow which one of the guys you talked with but I will try to find out.

I will be having lunch today with my buddy at Motive. If they are not working on gears then I need to have them get the gear set that I loaned them back from their guys in Germany.

And I will say that there is another vendor (not at SEMA) whos said he should have 3.70 geARS VERY soon. Like the next month or so.
Until that vendor has them, and has tested them he does not want to announce the gears.

More as I figure this stuff out.

Oh and remember that SEMA is more of an apperance than performance show. Sure it's there but the prioriy has allways been glitter over go.

It will only get better boys and girls

Motive made gears for Ford Racing for the 2005+ Mustang. A lot of them howled like a sumbitch even when set up perfectly with the correct backlash and pinion depth. Maybe they are worried they will have the same problem with making gears for the Camaro and don't need the hassle of all the returns!
