The 'Auto' option will be the ZF 8 speed transmission that is essentially the same as the ZF SuperFast Auto in the Jag F Type. It changes gear in 100 ms which is about as quick as the best DCTs; has far better driveability at low speeds than most DCTs; is cheaper to build and no doubt repair; has a lock up on the TC from 2nd gear up; etc. What's not to like about this?
Look I love DCTs, and GM has filed a patent for a DCT using a TC in place of the clutch plates but if it's not the transmission that comes in the Z06, the ZF auto will do just fine, at least for me. The only question I have is will it suffer any heat soak issues on the road course in the summer?
