I recently watched a Fox News video where the S550's Chief Engineer was interviewed with a white '15 Anniversary, he made a comment saying something to the effect that he has a few surprises for 2015.5 stang...anyone have any further info on this?

Thx

Thx. I'm new here so pardon if this has been asked before, is an 8 speed auto in the cards for 15.5 or 16?

Glass roof would be very nice.

10 speed is suspected for 16, 17, or 18 depending on who you ask

Thx, 10 speeds seems like a bit of overkill, no?

Yeah it could be and it's a gm Ford collaboration...they've spent a lot on it and they're doing it to meet the fleet mpg standards. I don't think there is much if any info on it yet

Yes, sone manufactures have been using them for a few years but the 8 speed Spd is rather new for GM, so it's interesting they're already planning on a 10 Spd in just 2-3 more model years. I guess CAFE is causing all kinds of different future products far earlier than what would have come in previous years.

Gm/Ford have worked on 10speed since 13..kinda funny if the camaro and mustang have the exact same tranny
