It looks like 3 OD gears. Here's what GM published with gear ratios. http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2016/may/0511-10speed-gm.html

Yeah, but it's part of their middle-finger to the BBC.

Yep, the 6R80 is a ZF 6HP licensed by Ford, which is like 15 year old technology. The 10R80 isn't related to any ZFs. I believe Ford owns the patents on most of the key components of the 10R80, or at least used to (might be co-owned with GM now). In any case, it's a completely new design.

It'd be nice to see this hit Jalopnik and at least shine a light on that damned gecko.

Just to be a pain in their ass, I'd ask them to provide proof the vehicle ever raced. Wonder if test and tune is racing?

"Most" cars are setup to understeer. Wider rear tires increase understeer. Also, it's much more difficult to get a staggered setup neutral, much less keep it neutral after several laps. In a nutshell, square setups are much more neutral and predictable, which leads to more linear responses at...

Agreed. Plus, most cars handle best square.

Yeah, that transmission is wicked. [ame]

I suspect the delta between a good driver and an average driver with the 10 speed with be pretty insignificant on a drag strip.

The only car I've done well with buying and selling through dealers was a 2004 R32. I bought it used in 2004 with ~7k miles for $25.5k. I traded it in 2 years later for $26k with ~25k miles.

Geez... $52k for a RS at this place... https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?sourceContext=carGurusHomePage_false_0&formSourceTag=104&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d2402&zip=98092#listing=147236546 Gotta love the canned dealer...

That sucks... They're still advertising it with the carbon fiber. It'd probably be worth the time/money to have a lawyer contact them for you because they certainly aren't holding up the warranty either.

I wish ford would use a better transmission for it. The 10 speed or ZF 8HP type would be nice... Nonetheless, it's quite a package for a mid 30k sedan. I'm curious the magnetic ride will be calibrated on it.

The old First Amendment is a tough hurdle for any public figure to overcome in a libel suit. Clearly criticizing a business whether accurate or not is a definitely in the arena of public interest. The Supreme Court held up years ago that inhibiting free speech with a libel claim a person needs...

Ive got a baby on the way too and it's the one thing keeping me from buying a GT. I'm considering a used SS since it would be more baby friendly.

Just responding to your post about $40k for a Golf. Since the G350 can't be had in that price range and the GT can, I think it's quite fair to compare the two on resale value since their starting points can essentially be equal.

Strictly looking at resale value, it is more lol to pay $40k for a Mustang. The damn Rs hold their value really well.

I can attest that a Mk7 R can easily run mid 13s without launch control. A friend of mine let me take his completely bone stock R for one pass. I didn't use launch control and all I did was roll into the throttle and let it do its thing down the track. 13.4 at 104. I think the stock GT sees more...

Since weight loss is just calorie deficit, find exercises that you enjoy that can maximize that. For me, I hop on a $250 spin bike 5 to 6 times a week for 45 mins and then do some various body weight exercises afterwards. The thing to look out for when you exercise is that you'll want to eat...
