Same tranny as a Camaro? I find that a little hard to believe - why would they put a tranny that handles 300+ hp into a sub-200 hp car - waste of money for a "cheap" car.

Also the transmission feel may be an issue with this model - I have never driven a recent Camaro, but other muscle cars have trannies that require very high shifting effort. Hopefully that is not the case here.
