Interested in seeing some of the 0 to 60 and 1/4 times in the a10 ss 1le. If C&D and R&T managed to get 3.9 and 12.3 respectively with an m6 the a10 should impress. The a10 is not for me but ultimately I respect it and if the Mach1 will have an a10 option then it is good for the ss 1le to have one as well for the sake of market competition.

The A10 is the future, not the past.

I do remember seeing an article with BMW engineers claiming as much and how it is easier to make a torque converter trans that can handle big power. Obviously the dct has it's many advantages but I don't think the TC auto is going anywhere anytime soon.

I'll be interesting what Ford does with the new Predator equipped Raptor that has been leaked. Can't imagine they would stick a dct in a truck that has other duties besides going fast, but still interested to see if they somehow went dct over a10. Idk if they have a version of the a10 ready to take 5.2 Predator power yet, but who knows what they're working on.

Does the A10 SS1LE have AFM?

How much power is a 5.2 Predator slated to make? There are several A10 ZL1s in the 1000hp league at this point, so I can't imagine it would be too hard to have an A10 handle that. Conversely, there are way too many 1000+hp GTRs and Porsche Turbos running DCTs, so I don't see that being a stretch either.

Had a manual SS, Mustang GT, Focus ST, and now A10 SS. I know I'm in the minority but "bigger and heavier" cars like the Camaro and Mustang become somewhat of a chore to shift manually and seem almost pointless considering all of the torque. The Focus ST seemed like it belonged there to stretch that 4 cyl and it was lighter.

Should yea, since the A10s do

I have the M6 in my SS1LE and can't say I fully agree. It's very fun to row gears in. I do somewhat agree that you don't enjoy shifting as much on the street due to the power and torque; any one gear can go so fast you don't do much shifting. On the track however, you can enjoy it more.
