Are you sure that's the real reason?

Are you sure that's the real reason?
Man, this sounds incredibly similar to what the 03/04 Mach 1 guys experienced. Of course, that was the T-3650. But, often it was a clutch related issue. In that case the plastic quadrant would flex during hard shifting. Makes me wonder is this is slave cylinder related, given the GT500s hydraulic set up.
Mine did it once then I made sure I planted the clutch before shifting and it hasn't happened since.
No doubt our trannies have the same issue as the TR-3650 with cold 1-2 shifting.
The powershift "lockout" issue may well be related to the CSC/hydraulic set up not reacting quick enough, particularly under extreme conditions.
Some folks may have worn synchro issues too.
But, the fact that 2010/2011 guys are seeing more issues than usual seems indicative of something specific to those model years. I have never heard any 2007-2009 guys complain that the shift throws were unequal.
So, probably not all the same problem/issue.
This is JMHO so no bashing. For one this car has a twin disc clutch. So the clutch has to be pushed all the way in. Second problem is, gear ratio from first to second is the widest of all the gears. Gear ratios are 1st 2.97 2 1.78 3 1.30 4 1.00. So the second gear synchro has to work very hard. This trans and clutch should be broke in before any power shifting. Also it doesn't leave much room for error. So y'all need to practise more before power shifting.
Look over on the Z06 forums..they're having the same problem with the Tremecs.
I also noticed the length of the throw is different for 1,3,5 and 2,4,6
Guys, I called svt and talked with a rep. He had no idea about the problem. I told him there were a ton of us with the problem. He reccomeded that we call to report the problem and they can start keeping track. He said there was no fix or tab he knew of.

you correctly identified 1 issue being the 1-2 ratio spread. 2nd gear is moving too fast and doesn't engage clean @ high rpms.
there is no fix for this issue and no amount of additional practice will cure it. unless you want to spend big $$.
I do have redline d4 fluid waiting to go in since last year but my hopes arent high... so it sits
