With faster gear shifts than a dual-clutch gearbox and wider gear ratio, the already available Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission sets new benchmark and new performance standards, when equipped on the 2017 Camaro ZL1.
Probably the first to-be-geared with the Hydra-Matic system, the Camaro ZL1 will benefit from greater overall performance, wider 7.39 overall gear ratio spread, smaller steps between gears and enhanced fuel consumption efficiency.
Furthermore, Chevy has already proved that the new ZL1 with 10-speed transmission is faster than Porsche PDK dual-clutch system. Also, the 1-2 upshift is 36 per cent quicker than the PDK, while 2-3 and 3-4 are respectively 27 and 26 percent faster. Cool.
Also, Chevy team has made some additional changes under the name of Creative packaging in order to optimize and harmonize the whole drivetrain system in order to fit the special transmission system. Camaro now comes with all-new proprietary electronic control system and performance calibrations. Also, there are some precise fine-tunes made onto different drivetrain system components.

2017 Camaro ZL1Convertible has just been revealed by Chevrolet, exuding its great levels of technology, refinement, track capability and acceleration. In other words, this car was designed for performance. The exterior for example was shaped during more than 100 hours of wind-tunnel testing and on-track validation. This of course have improved the aerodynamics and cooling, especially if one rides in on the track.
2017 Camaro ZL1 is expected to set new benchmark for the advanced sports coupe segment. And these expectations have a logical explanation: the advanced technologies, refined drivetrain system and the exceptional skills of Chevrolet engineers are the key elements that make this vehicle so special. As we all know, one of the most notable features of the ZL1 is the engine system. Vehicle’s heart is a monstrous 6.2-liter V8 power unit that produces a total of 640hp (477kW), paired either to a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic gearbox. The fine-tuned handling system and the countless lightweight components also contribute to the overall great performance: the Magnetic Ride suspension and the electronic limited-slip differential systems make sure that this sweetie dominates the track.
The new ZL1 also catches the eye with striking visuals. The exterior demonstrates some redesigned components and overall massive and aggressive appearance. The lower grille opening not only contributes to more appealing front end view, but also helps for better airflow, while the new hood with carbon fiber insert and heat extractor contribute to the cooling. Additional features include large front splitter, unique rockers, wing-style rear spoiler and wider front fenders. These additions not only enhance the muscular stance of the vehicle, but also help for better aerodynamics and performance rates.
The sweetie proudly demonstrates 20-inch forged aluminum wheels with 285/30ZR20 front and 305/30ZR20 rear tires, Brembo brakes with six-piston monoblock front calipers with ZL1 logo and of course large 390mm two-piece front rotors. And one more thing about the transmission: it is the first 10-speed system ever geared on a Chevrolet vehicle.
