If they are 450-460hp and 200lbs lighter, it shouldn't be too hard to break into the 10s with a converter/bolton auto...
Why did they give it an 8k tach, looks to me like this will rev better than the previous GT oke:
I'm guessing that the charge motion valves in the intake manifold and the mid lock cam phasers were included specifically to tame the more radical heads and cams at idle and low speed part throttle operation.
As for the tranny:

That wasn't my question. I have read where Boss owners have trouble shifting at high rpm and the manual transmission was pointed to as the problem. I was wondering if anything has been changed/improved on the transmission to prevent the GT from having the same problems as the Boss. Perhaps the GT will be rev limited low enough to eliminate the potential problem...

Quoted from the article on StangTV:
The Getrag six-speed manual has been revised to allow for smoother shifting and we hope greater durability. A new shifter design and new bushings improve shifter throw in the six-speed and the shifter has been moved closer to the driver for an improved driving experience.
Just referred back to the 5.0 Magazine CJ article and the CJ does not have bigger valves. They're just Boss heads with different springs.
So the 2015 GT will have harger valves than either the Boss or CJ. Wow.
Also looks like the 2015 may be using the CJ intake cam and the Boss exhaust cam.
Edit: Also - Mid-lock cam phasers to provide greater range of cam timing on the intake side, revised piston tops, new balanced forged crank (likely the Boss part).
- No DI? that seems off.
How long before the big shops. i.e.jpc have one with headers, nitrous, turbos etc..oke:
Aussie unveil video claims 529 Newton meters of tq, so about 391ish ft lbs...I dont see 450hp...I see 430.
It will not have much more power to the tires though since the parasitic losses are a lot higher, probably almost double the solid axle - one pc. drive shaft losses.
