i understand what you are saying 76mx, lets give the hackers time to figure out what sensors and other controls are required to run the unit stand-alone ,to use a computer from another 8 speed or maybe 10 speed by then ,from one of the manufactures who are using front wheel drive & rear wheel drive 8 speeds transmission ,we should give them some time to adapter a current production trans controller with modify shift points to the C8 transaxle & it,s gear ratio,s ,i have a lot of faith in the aftermarket community.lol i will be watching LKQ like no body,s business for a C8 Gbox and axles

Yes, I thought about that, it just stings to wait three years and then be told maybe in another five.
Bartman:
The good news is: If this model is as popular as previous vettes and sells in similar numbers, depreciates as fast of previous models, in 5 years, there will be plenty of used transaxles and someone will have likely made an aftermarket controller by then.....

IKR, I don't want to rain on this but here comes a hurricane. Many years ago, when a news article was published about next year's mid engine Corvette and the new Tremec transaxle and how that transaxle would be a huge asset to the replica industry, I called my buds at Tremec and told them I wanted one. They told me they had seen the article too and did not know what it was talking about, that unit was at least three years still in development. Now three years later here it and the mid engine Corvette is, so last weekend at the Street Rod Nationals I met face to face with my buds at Tremec and told them again that I wanted one. They told me it was proprietary to Chevy and they could not and will not sell me one. I could buy one from Chevy...but...I need to give them the VIN Number of my 2020 Corvette to authorize the sale. Even if I did that, I have more problems. There is only one computer that manages the engine and transaxle, so one will not work without the other. I would need to order the transaxle AND that engine as a complete drivetrain unit...and...I need to give them the VIN Number of my 2020 Corvette to authorize the sale.
