For those who actually have a 2012 ZL1 allocation... Which way did you go...?
just curious what the split will be...
Hopefully I'm not opening a can of worms here... please keep auto v manual discussions to a minimum...
The Auto is $2,485 more than the manual and seems to be a tic faster...
TREMEC (TR6060) 6-Speed Manual
The standard transmission for ZL1 comes in the form of the latest
TREMEC (TR6060) 6-speed manual with a revised short-throw
shifter. The new shifter has a more aggressive motion ratio and
incorporates a revised shift knob. The shape of the shift knob
is designed to be more performance oriented in the driver’s
hand, while the shorter throws result in a more direct feeling of
connection with the car for spirited driving. The TREMEC provides
smooth transfer of the engine’s exceptional power and torque. In
fact, it incorporates various upgrades and a 30% increase in torque capacity.
Hydra-Matic® 6L90 6-Speed Automatic
The optional automatic transmission version of the ZL1 is a fully
integrated powertrain offering that is unique to the segment. The
Mustang GT500 and Boss models do not offer anything except
manual transmissions. The Hydra-Matic 6L90 is built to handle
the massive torque (556 lb.-ft.) and power (580 horsepower) put
out by the 6.2L supercharged V8. Included on the 6L90 are a
strengthened input gearset with two additional pinion gears and
a strengthened output gearset. Steering wheel paddle shifting will
make shifts quick and convenient.
