I can agree wholeheartedly on them resorting to the proven 4R70W transmission to hold up to those numbers. With the right internals and a good tune on the transmission electronic side, they can hold some power.

I haven't warmed up too much at all to the newer 5 and 6 speed autos that the newer Mustangs come from the factory with. In the new 6 speed Ford auto in the Mustang, none of the gears are 1:1 ratio. There is a planetary or two working for all gears. It seems that Ford is trying to reinvent the wheel by making it square. WTH were they thinking?
