As far the transmission is concerned: I know that people who have the auto like them, but honestly -- GM should not have applied the SS badge to an automatic model with that many drawbacks. It needs to have a manumatic at the very least, no hp compromises, and ideally at least 5 gears. The fact that GM doesn't think it can take the stock power of the powerplant is a little concerning. It definitely is not an SS model you can feel comfortable hot rodding without some major transmission work.

It still isn't 260 HP, but 230 HP is still better than 170 HP. I just hope they are finding a better auto tranny for this car, and not saying this transmission is good enough for the long term. Hopefully something with paddle shifters at least.
