It is faster than the manual, and more consistent...outside of that - what do you mean?

It is interesting to me we have not seen any tests with the automatic at this point,why? are they waiting to take some thunder away from the 670hp ford, but I hope so. I hope we see a journalist track day at a prepped drag strip soon. With the time and money they put into the PTM I think sub 12's will be the norm in the auto (with OK prep and weather). LONG LIVE THE PONY WARS!!!!!

it will be rated at 650 most likely but it has some mode that lets is rev to 7k for a certain period and when that happens it dynos at 670.

I have not seen the full specifics on the over rev mode. I think it said 8 seconds but I did nto see how often you were alowed to do it.

fords real dyno of the engine showed 670hp. theres picture proof of it in Hot Rod magazine.

i think its at 7000rpm if i remember correctly. Theres a feature that "lets you" rev it to 7000rpm but apparently cuts out after 10 seconds or so (details about the rev feature havent been fully discussed). Some people are whining about it but who the heck would want to leave it at 7000rpm for a longer time than that anyways???...but yeah, 670hp.
