The 2012 Chevy ZL1 comes with several improvements of previous versions of the Camaro, but probably most notably is its new automatic transmission system. This is a 6-speed automatic system, complete with paddle shifters, to get you from 0-60 in just 3.9 seconds.

On the face of it, it’s a normal automatic transmission with paddle shifters. What give it the edge is a unique software. The improvement in delay between shifts is about 200-300 milliseconds, according to Chevy, but only in sequence up the range.
By staging hydraulic pressure in the clutch for the next gear, the new control module algorithm reduces tap delay for the 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 up-shifts by 200-300 milliseconds.
The system anticipates shift requests based on current gear, throttle, torque and speed. By pre-filling the clutch for the next gear, the tap up-shift response is near instantaneous.
