2020 Camaro LT1

[DELZZZ]

I was wondering about everyone's thoughts on the new Camaro LT1. The idea of a bare bones Camaro reminds me of old fox body mentality. Big engine and no options.
I love everything about my 18 GT as a daily except the MT-82... It bothers me that my 20 year old T-56 in my C5 feels better than my new MT-82. The Tremec manual 6 speed is stock in the Camaro...

Thoughts? :helpsign:

Get a GT500 with the Tremec…..:ford:

The 2018 GTs are great cars. Maybe an MGW shifter would solve the MT-82 issues.

I love the idea and I’m glad they’re doing it. I don’t like the interior or outward visibility of the Camaro, but if you can get past that they’re a great performer and a bargain for what you’re getting.

GT350 Tranny swap?? Probably not feasible but just thought I'd bring it up, as it's a great transmission Tremec TR-3160

MGW shifter seems to be the answer. If you don't want to spend that much I would look into maybe trying one of the transmission braces. Full Tilt Boogie racing and other companies make a brace. I believe the brace from FTB is around $90 plus shipping.
Here's a video of a before and after of the brace... big difference and not breaking the bank.

And if you still aren't happy... a camaro would be an amazing car too!

MGW- problem solved
Best bang for the buck mod on slo turd- actually love the mt82 cause it doesn’t feel like the mt82 lol

No more floating feel
Solid mounted trans feel

Couldn’t agree more! Best mod I have ever done on my 17 GT by far! The MGW really transforms the way the car drives and feels. I know it sounds crazy but it even makes the car feel quicker.

Try the MGW and your opinion of the MT82 will greatly improve.

No doubt for the divorced shifter applications, MGW has it nailed.
For the T56/T5 etc style trans, would not give you a wooden nickle for one. Removed from my own car after single days use n went back to Pro50
Interesting product from FTB, given how anal he is about his products and how they work, can bet it's a win.

I had no trouble shifting my s550 thought it was fantastic, drove it like I stole it - if my shifts where off, and somedays they where - it was me being tired and out of sinc a hair not the shifter...

19411 I have it in my 2014 GT and it is night and day. The service tech that did the airbag recall got in the car and noticed it right away. He said that it felt amazing compared to stock.

sorry guys if I upset anyone - please don't take this comment the wrong way - the s550 is night and day to my 40yr old fox 4spd and I never blamed it either when I missed (blame it for randomly coming out of fourth tho...lol) My forty year old fox was night and day to my 50yr old mopar 4spds. and I never blamed them either when I missed and a clutch back then was a 2 legger - I never blame always adjust myself - If I tried something new and it was an improvement and I seen a advantage to it, I would compliment it - in my opinion the s550 was fantastic the way it is and not many changes to the drive train would of improved my amateur performances at the autocross more than seat time...just the way I think! If the car looks good, feels good, and gives a tingle in the privates buy it, love it, drive the piss out of it....lol enjoy!

Had the MGW in my 09... made the world of difference. Got rid of 3ed gear lock out and all.

Has anyone had any significant seat time in the current Camaro SS vs a 18+ GT?

[DELZZZ]

In regards to MGW I bought one for my C5 last year and absolutely love it. If I end up staying in a GT I will look at adding the brace and the MGW shifter.

DELZZZ, you only need the MGW shifter. No additional bracket is required as it mounts right to the transmission.

[DELZZZ]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated.

[DELZZZ]

Well, I was made an offer that I just couldn't refuse. I will be driving a 19 1SS for the next few years. After I get some seat time I plan on writing a review between my (former) 18 GT vs the 19 1SS. Both cars are awesome and I'm lucky to have owned both.

Nice purchase, pics perhaps??

[Minaccia]

I like that GM is doing this with the Camaro and who needs options when you have power, ok maybe power windows only.

[FABMAN]

Hope you enjoy your new ride!

19919 I put the MGW in my 2014,and it's simply amazing compared to the stock one. It's worth the money.
