The 2017 ZL1 Camaro’s 10-Speed Transmission Shifts Lightning Fast
Camaro ZL1’s Transmission is a Perfect 10: New 10-speed auto offers quicker shifts than DCT “There is simply nothing like the new 10-speed automatic in the Camaro ZL1,” said Aaron Link, ZL1 lead development engineer. “It delivers nearly instantaneous, lightning-fast shifts that alter your perception of what an automatic transmission can offer in a high-performance vehicle – whether you’re on the street, drag strip, or road course.” The greater overall performance and efficiency are due primarily to the 10-speed’s wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread, which enhances off-the-line performance with an aggressive first gear ratio of 4.70. Smaller steps between the gears also help the engine maintain the optimal speed for maximum power at almost all vehicle speeds, especially upon corner exit of a track. “The gear ratios are so tightly spaced that the transmission is in the right gear and the engine is at the best rpm for transitions from corners to straights,” said Link. “And with the power from the ZL1’s supercharged LT4 engine, the force you feel in your seat as you accelerate out of a turn will put a grin on your face every time.” Chevrolet testing has shown the ZL1 with the available 10-speed has faster shift times than the Porsche PDK dual-clutch transmission. In fact, the 1-2 upshift is 36-percent quicker than the PDK, while the 2-3 and 3-4 upshifts are 27-percent and 26-percent quicker, respectively. Hundreds of hours were spent integrating the 10-speed’s shift performance with the unique power band of the ZL1’s supercharged 6.2L LT4 engine, which is estimated at 640 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. The 10-speed also has a numerically lower top gear ratio than Camaro’s eight-speed automatics, which allows the engine to run at a lower speed on the highway, enabling even greater efficiency. Creative packaging solutions, which had to accommodate another clutch in comparison to the eight-speed, allow the 10-speed to be the approximate size of Camaro’s other eight-speed transmission. It uses four simple gearsets and six clutches: two brake clutches and four rotating clutches. That’s only one more clutch than the eight-speed, despite having two more forward gears. It is also the latest transmission with an all-new, proprietary electronic control system and performance calibrations. The calibration is unique for the ZL1’s high-performance-oriented driving experience, while additional applications will feature calibrations matched to their respective performance ranges.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, isn’t the biggest of cities, but it’s certainly becoming a popular destination thanks to a number of great attractions, restaurants, and nearby scenery. For car guys, it’s becoming an attraction because of the Chattanooga Cruise-In – an event hosted by long-standing Chattanooga companies Coker Tire and Honest Charley Speed Shop. You may have heard of these companies or have an understanding of what each company represents in the old-car hobby, but it’s tough to get the full scope without actually checking out the facilities firsthand. That notion is what started the Chattanooga Cruise In – a free-to-the-public open house to show off all of the cool stuff in the works at Coker Tire and Honest Charley plus a cruise-in to let locals show off their classic cars. Five years later, it has turned into the biggest single-day cruise-in event in the Southeast, and the April 11, 2015 event was one for the record books. The official event hours were 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but folks rolled in as early as 7 a.m. to get parked. With parking on the streets and parking lots that surround the Coker Tire compound, space was somewhat limited, even though the staff had reserved more street closures than normal. Hundreds of Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Corvettes, and more rolled into the event, with everything from restored stockers to full-on Pro Touring builds on hand. Food vendors and neighboring restaurants offered great food for the attendees, while several door prizes kept folks anxiously awaiting the results of the 3 p.m. drawing. By 4 p.m., the crowds had dispersed and the flurry of car-guy activity was over. At the end of the day, the Chattanooga Police Officers who worked the entry gates estimated 2,000 cars and 15,000 spectators had entered the event. Many of those cars proudly wore the Chevy Bow Tie, so we picked out our favorites, and put together a special gallery of the best Chevys at the 2015 Chattanooga Cruise-In. Happy Sunday Classic Muscle Car Fans! Today we share the story of one incredible '67 Pro Street Camaro that was recently featured in Super Chevy Magazine. As you can see from the images above, this baby is a head turner AND one bad ass racing machine. Enjoy! __________________________________________________ As Featured In Super Chevy Magazine January 20, 2016 | By Ro McGonegal Mike Norcia’s Insane 1967 Pro Street Chevrolet Camaro In most cases, the people who run performance companies are more comfortable navigating the mainstream than plowing up the fringes. Mike Norcia likes to plow. The co-owner of Ram Clutches firmly believes in getting down on the ground with his stuff. He’s proud of it and has been a motorhead for many long years, starting down his path as a high-school junior in Canton, Ohio. Mike tells it: “The car was purchased in 1978. Investigation of the numbers showed it a true Rally Sport. For $1,200 I got a clean body with 34,000 miles, a Muncie M22 transmission, a Dana rearend, and a nice 327 … that was split down both sides of the block! I believe the only tools the previous owner used to work on this car were a sledgehammer and a torch.” Norcia’s Camaro has been a testbed for Ram products (founded by his father, John, in 1971) and its current form represents the third stage of its development. The Camaro hosted a series of small-block engines, and along the way it was featured in a 1980 edition of Chevy Power magazine. Mike’s kink has always been lit by a wonderful bunch of politically incorrect Pro Street heathens and he’s been staunch about it ever since a street-driven passenger car grew wheeltubs and packed a narrowed axle. That Pro Street stuff continues to foment and keeps calling for big engines and even bigger back tires. And that Ram products persuasion? It’s a quality that this writer admires. It means that Mike likes to shift for himself. And, he likes to do as much of his own work as possible. Then the landscape changed. In late 1983, the Norcias bolted from the Buckeye State and moved Ram to Columbia, South Carolina. The Camaro’s process slowed to a snail’s hump. Mike: “The car was driven very little as most of my time was spent assisting with our clutches and nitrous systems, working with several [IHRA] Top Sportsman teams in the infancy of Pro Modified racing.” But the hiatus gave him time to think; gave him ideas. In 1993 (the height of the Pro Street era), with an itch he could no longer abide, he dragged the Camaro up to Wally Stroupe at SRC Motorsports in North Carolina. Stroupe is nothing if not a staunch (6.30 at 220) Pro Mod racer who builds some slippery drag race darts. He did the back-half conversion and installed the formidable 12-point rollcage. “The intent at the time was to turn [it] into a Pro Street car,” said Mike. Then, he and wife, Robin, decided to begin their family circle, and for the next 17 years the Camaro lounged in his garage just as it had returned from Stroupe. Words of encouragement from his son Michael became the impetus to finish the project with the idea of producing copious clouds of tire smoke from those Mickey 15-wides. “Truly,” Mike said, “all that time off enabled me to build the car exactly how I wanted to all along. The theme evolved from Pro Street, an offshoot of Pro Mod and Outlaw as delineated by a big-cube engine and deck wing.” How does it differ from old-school thought? Notably absent is the trademark supercharger pile jutting from the hood. Other qualities of mention are reliable power from a big-cubic-inch engine complete with warranty, the spit-in-your-eye stick-shift transmission where most moan for a big-mother automatic, and the return to the world before Pro Touring (monster brakes, fat front tires, maniacal attention to handling … and rules!). None of that is apt to incite a motorhead, but a near-600-inch engine certainly would give wood. Now remember. Going like hell in a straight line was what you did when you didn’t know how to do anything else. It was the first thing you did and you never shook that hypnotic attraction. Was it easier than screwing the gas pedal to the floor? Yes, it was a genuine rush. And back then, virtually all the other realms of what we now acknowledge as essential to a complete road car were barely an afterthought. Mike is hands-on, having managed all the work, save for the chassis changes and the paint routine. He gives a big round of applause to the cats at Summit Racing (Chuck, Carl, Alan, and JT) as well as Danny’s Automotive; Dave Schwartz; Russ Richardson; and Pat, John, and Michael Norcia. “As I have always been a Pro Street big-cubic-inch fan, we went after a theme, call it modern Pro Street, or what the car would look like if it was built to match the standards of high-horsepower race cars today.
