7 speed DCT vs 10r80 for Drag racing? Road racing?

[...] some new-speak notion that today's technologies must only be described with new terms, even when that old term is perfectly applicable at the most basic level.

Sorry man, that's just absurd, progress often demands we adjust the language we use.

Now pardon me kind sir, whilst I depart, I must take in the auditory emanations of my transportable phonographic apparatus ...

If the 10r80 were going to shift faster and outperform the 7 speed why on earth didnt they just use the 10 speed in the new gt500? Because unlike everyone in this forum ford engineers have tested this specific transmission and know the performance is better on the 7speed. Common sense man!

Well then you need to do more research about this new 7 speed transmission, Ford has designed this GT 500 to be a road race, corner carver type of car, because with this new transmission, it will be very difficult to launch it from a dead stop, there is a delay, unless you use launch control, and how many times applying launch control before some thing breaks. I'm sorry, Ford has missed the boat with this car, I'll pass, and buy a GT with a 10 spd auto and some boost, bye bye GT 500!

The gt500 is built with tolerances as Ford understands the car WILL be modded.

The modded GT will not handle and will not perform like the 500. There is a world of difference between the two.

Launching the car isn’t hard because of the transmission. It’s hard because it makes stupid amounts of power, and isn’t AWD, nor uses slicks.

The car has been in development for too long in my opinion as well. I take that to mean it’s had some issues during that time. I also take it to mean that those issues have been ironed out and come with the bonus of seeing what it’s facing on the horizon. The car is well prepared and is going to hurt major feelings.

When did they start developing it?

In other news, im bored as ****, so spent some time trying to ricer math this cars 1/4 potential again.

1. tremecs pdf on available gear ratios
2. Ford actual promo video, showing 1st-2nd gear shift at 7500rpm

Tremecs A version, with a common ford rear, 3.90, with that 325/30/r20 tire size match up perfectly, as well as the B version with 4.10s
know there are drag time calculators out there, all saying what we already know, but the "Car Test" program ( i have but cannot load it) allows for precise vehicle information inputs. hp, weight, trans ratios, launch rpm, dyno plot, 60ft, drag coe, shift speed, etc.

If someone else has that, id like to see what it suggests

3.90 is common? I thought 3.55s & 3.73s we're "common"?

Well that’s interesting........

 

[Dominator961]

Ford should of used a sequential transmission. Fuck automatics.

i guess thats a bit subjective, depends on the trans and # of gears. i went by commonly used or swapped too. ill test it again with 3.55 / 3.73

Well that’s interesting........

i thought so. if someone has a performance calculator, they can start pluggin in #s


EDIT:
3.55 set A= 54mph 1st gear / 161 4th gear
Set B= 55mph 1st / 158mph 4th
3.73 Set A= 51 1st gear ( possible due to delay, not likely) / 154mph 4th gear
Set B= 53mph 1st / 151mph 4th


My money is on Set A with 3.90 or set B with 4.10, but leaning toward Set A/3.90 for mpg stats

Not sure but the oldest thread of us typing about it was made in 2015. By looking at the headlights I wouldn't be surprised if it was even earlier than that.

We’ve already seen the car will have 3.73

Use that ratio only.

Also, we won’t know any performance or HP stats until deep into the summer.
