I read FORD will add the 6 dct transmission to every car by 2013 and they will focus on better performance with every vehicle they make. Even SUV's. I'm dying to see what a mustang with a 6 dct would feel like? With the extremely quick shifts of dct trannies I'm guessing that 4.4 second sprint to 60 will shrink further. Maybe 4.2 and 12.5 quarter time?
I'm also dying to see camaros answer with the 2012 camaro to the current mustang
As far as tire setup. No matter the cost. They should put the proper shoes. It may cost 4k to a consumer but they buy wholesale and extremely high volumes. They can work some sort of deal that would only affect prices by maybe an extra 1200. If they were able to lower msrp by 500. They must be makin some killer profits anyway.

Yeah, the next generation Mustang will get the 6speed DCT for it's automatic option.

FWIW, the Boss is tested at 3.9 0-60.

The 2014 Mustangs will likely weigh less than 3400 lbs, have about 450 hp, and the 6-speed DCT will be the automatic option. If they give the car enough tire I think you're looking at low 12s right out of the box.

Also, the V6 is going to be replaced by an Ecoboost I-4, which could be interesting. The V6 Mustangs are running solidly in the mid 13s stock right now and mod potential is pretty good, but a turbo 4 could make them even more interesting.

The boss 302 should be the mustang. I hadn't liked mustangs since the old hatchback sleepers till right now and the 302 BOSS is what made me give mustang full props. Even mustang haters gotta luv the BOSS.
