[QUOTE="Tob, post: 13907990, member: 83412"] Still waiting for Ford to release all the details on what should be a fantastic car. That said, I can't see the MT82 transmission being used behind whatever powerplant ends up being fitted into their "[I]Top Dog[/I]." Apparently Ford thinks their "improved" MT82 will do just fine in the '15 Mustang GT but I highly suspect they won't roll the dice and try to use it behind an even more powerful engine. The TR6060 was a pretty robust gearbox but with rising fuel economy standards I suspect that Ford may follow suit (such as Chevrolet did with their '14 Corvette) and take advantage of Tremecs latest iteration, the TR6070. Yes, a [B]seven [/B]speed. [url]http://www.tremec.com/anexos/File/TREMEC_TR-6070.pdf[/url] In "GM" form, the 6070 is 1.7" longer and almost 9lbs heavier than the 6060 that came before it. The upgraded powerplant (whatever it ends up being) in concert with the TR6070 may invoke yet another 1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft from Ford as well. It would make sense from a durability standpoint (the CF shaft) as well as a weight savings to counter the slightly heavier 6070 (vs the 6060). Either way, I hope that Ford has addressed the remote shifter woes - finally. [/QUOTE]
