 Very close power/weight ratios, assuming the 2011 Mustang with this exact engine gets a 6-speed, and weight stays similar. Of course...the Camaro will still have that IRS advantage.....

I TOLD YOU!!!!! I POSTED ABOUT THIS LIKE A YEAR AGO HAHA This is big news though... not gonna lie. This is not good for the Camaro/Challenger. Can you imagine the first model year glitches on that gear box?

Issue I see? GM JUST came out with their 6-speed autos not 4-5 years ago. And they're fantastic! But this is better...If they want to go full-scale dual-clutch, then they're going to want to make them in-house to replace their autos, which means refitting the transmission plants...which they can't do right now thanks to some $$ issues...
ugh. I'd love to be surprised by GM on this one. LOVE to be.

The dual clutch unit is slated mostly for their economy models. There is no guarantee that it will be able to handle the power or torque of a V-8 or turbo 6 engine. Hopefully they have kept that in mind as an ecoboost Mustang with a dual-clutch is interesting. The lack of an IRS is still a concern.
I’d like to see Ford bring over the Euro Focus or whatever that new model (can remember the name, the concept was a candy red color) that is replacing it with 350-400hp and AWD. I bet they offer that with the 2010 Fusion SVO/SHO which will handle well as it’s basically a Mazda 6 platform. |

And again...I will believe any of this when I see it. LLN especially is not any sort of reliable source of information.

intersting. the camaro will finaly be pushed. the eco-boost alone will be giving the ss a run for the money if they get the weight correct.
twin clutch tho will be something. the evoX has a twin clutch system and its simply flawless and shifts super fast. it will be intersting to see how ford will merry it up with their motors

A 400-hp 5.0 hooked up to a dual-clutch? Oh, hell yeah!
