I see dry weight for the 10r80 at 230 and the Tr-9007 is 198. the 10R takes 13qts to fill anyone know the fluid capacity of the 9007?

In the link above i shared, it is stated that the 9070 is 229 dry, though I am not sure which will be used. Sounds like it is pretty much even when it comes to weight.I see dry weight for the 10r80 at 230 and the Tr-9007 is 198. the 10R takes 13qts to fill anyone know the fluid capacity of the 9007?

Widmann said that the dual-clutch can handle more torque than the auto, and the shift times are quicker. Ford Performance wants the GT500 to be fast on a drag strip and on a road course, and a dual-clutch was the best transmission for the job.
One car, the GTR, nothing "fragile" about that GR6 trans! Granted it will need upgraded clutches after adding a few 100+ lbft of torque and launching on a normal basis. Your statement is not entirely false per-say because there are some examples of very terrible production DCTs out there from the not so distant past, but the way you stated it as fact for ALL DCTs, is what makes it false. Also, the major component that would limit a DCTs tq handling ability would be the clutches, and in most cases that is a relatively easy fix.DCTs are usually pretty "fragile" when compared to standard autos, and don't do well with really high TQ numbers.
this ^The worst thing would be for Ford to release a high performance destroyer to an enthusiast market known for modding.
Ford knows this.
We aren’t getting a DCT that can just barely cope with the stock power numbers.
I don’t know of course, but I can see a DCT capable of supporting the torque corresponding to a 1,000 hp DOHC car.
If Bugatti had it going on so long ago (2005) on their car for $100,000 and able to support the power, then Ford can certainly have it in their 70k car 15 years later in 2020.
Are you referring to a Veyron? If so, add another 1.6M to the price.If Bugatti had it going on so long ago (2005) on their car for $100,000 and able to support the power, then Ford can certainly have it in their 70k car 15 years later in 2020.

Yep, tune will be a huge deal. Especially on the road course.auto engineer friends of mine speak very favorably of this box, and also the people who have been allowed to tune it.
I can't wait to try one out
So I actually spoke with a vehicle dynamics engineer driving the camo mule we’ve all seen. He developed adaptive stability and traction control on the GT for LeMan and said they brought a lot of that to the 500. He specifically said the DCT allowed them more performance options on the road course. Actually even brought up a specific segment at one of the local tracks he thought I might know and how the DCT shifting and control allows the car to be much faster on challenging tracks. He said he’s a true manual enthusiast but was very impressed with the new DCT.Yep, tune will be a huge deal. Especially on the road course.
Well, I meant tremec set it up... heh. Rather than Ford.So I actually spoke with a vehicle dynamics engineer driving the camo mule we’ve all seen.

Right from the horses mouth was good enough for me.
