Slush box?!
I watched the video and didn't even realize that the driver wasn't shifting until reading this thread.
That slush box appears to be telepathic.
Crazy to see that slush box grab another gear at +/- 170mph. Sheesh!

Have a buddy (Jason) with a Black on Black, new Z28. Amazing machine, huge tires, front and rear,....he came up on me on the back straight at WGI (Niagara Open track event) like a speeding bullet train...pointed him by and watched him go over the rumbles into the bus stop.....car didn't flinch, no bouncing, no jostling, flat as a pancake.....close behind was our buddy in a GT350 .......fun to watch......
As for the Camaro, a real beast AND, with a full factory warranty! Not so sure our beloved GT3's can say that anymore....... looks like the American muscle car has matured into not only a straight line machine but one hell of a road course carver, too! Full factory warranty, Hear that Porsche! just in case your tuning in here..........

oh.. the GM test rack? Looked like a test track. i wonder where it is?
i think all autos cold do that (shift at redline) however, in this case, FOR SURE, he would have hit over 185 had he not shifted . (redline is 6600rpm and it shifted at 6200rpm at 170mph.
with all that power now, i thnk it can beat a GT3 and its lowly 400hp.
i was more impressed with its performance on the ring on Firestone street tires. (Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires)

that was amazing to me too. the fact that i knows by braking force when to downshift.... crazy. however, it would have been faster with some additional downshifts around some turns.

they are being made so much better now.. but still for a street car, a little too plastic for me.
