Man, Auto's have really come a long way from the dogs they were in the early mid 90's.

Very nice!

Very impressive but I still would take a manual.

Awesome, can't wait to see what a 6-speed can do and/or what they'll run with sticky tires.

 

[Big Boss]

Damn that thing was moving!

Not all autos are good. Yes, the 10 speed in sports cars and trucks will be good, but the automatic in econobox cars is still a POS. Not a fan of the CVT either.

+1 to Jason. Manual for me as well.

It really was! I was at the 1/8 mark and I was pretty impressed with how fast it was top end.

Will you guys be testing a manual too?

I like the POTENTIAL of a CVT but their strength is just not there. I like that you can have a car that will change is ratios depending on what you are doing and can either have very short gears to keep you perfectly in the power-band or at the press of a button re-gear to get the best MPG.

They are just not strong enough yet, and the fact that normal people keep bitching that they can't "feel a shift" and making auto makers re-program to software to FEEL better instead of perform better is keeping them back.

If a 10spd geared tranny is doing this good, imagine a tranny that would have kept that 5.0 in the perfect place for it's powerband through the whole run.

Man I love the SOUND of that car. I have an EcoBoost and I don't miss the extra horsepower, but I do miss the sound.

Great video. I love the driver's excitement at the end.

Lol it will probably go quicker on a better track.
