I agree.

Re: thin ring grooves
One thing that has come to mind recently (being that I recently bought one) is what it would look like to do a 2010 Camaro. I know it's not as favorable for horsepower like the 2015, but with the shipping weight, it's a natural C car. In my opinion, it would be very neat to build one of these cars, retaining as much as the stock components as possible. Apart from the obvious engine work, you could probably make the 6l80 live without too many issues. HP tuners could definitely handle making the stock ecu work. This same concept can be applied to just about any 2010 and newer Camaro, Mustang, or Challenger. Just thinking out loud.

I started to build a 2010 from a body-in-white before I got the 2012 COPO. I think that it can be a pretty good combination.

Re: thin ring grooves
Wouldn't the ten speed be enough of an advantage to make up for it's weight and rotating drag? It's close ratios could allow a big cam with a narrow power band and it doesn't shock the tires much on shifts.
