Thank guys. I was wrong and I always like being wrong. I learn something when I’m wrong. Chevy is putting the 10 speed in their great 750 horse Camaro. The 6R140 is a great transmission. It will handle 1200 pound feet of torque. The 10 speed should be as good but I don’t see the point in it. My new F150 has the 10 speed and it doesn’t shift like I thought it would. I would have thought it would go through all the gears, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 but no try 1,3,5,7. As yet I haven’t seen it use either second or fourth gears. It is smooth very nice transmission. I would think Chevy will also use it in their HD trucks. What I would still like to see is a large V8 Ecoboost engine. Say 6.7 with about 800 hp and 1000 torque. After driving a 2.7 EB for 3 years I’d be the first in line to get one. The 2.7 is an awesome little engine. I could have got the 2.7 EB the 3.5 EB or the 5 L and never thought about anything but the 2.7. I drove the 3.5 EB but liked the 2.7 better.
Have you saw Caddy’ new 550 horse 4.2? The standard version will be about 500 hp. When it goes in the mid engine Vette it will be 5.5 L with 850 hp. These are the good old days for performance cars.
