Test drove a 5.0 Today

The auto in the 2011s is pretty stout. It's a modified 6R80 used in the F-150 raptor and shift-times could be easily compared to the 7AT in the Z... obviously the main differences being the extra gear on the 7AT and the fact that the 6R80 is rated to a much higher torque spec than our 7AT.

The manual is a Getrag MT82. The only complaints I have really found have been clunky shifting (direct input transmission, doh!) and a rear end clunk (driveline slack). Probably mostly the same things that people complained about with our 6MT.

outstanding, nice to know. And about that dual clutch...

and I've just about had it with clunky transmissions, do you think the auto could handle 600+whp?
