As suspected.

I still think it's much more "Z06-R" than "ZR1", at least if the changes are limited to what we've been able to see so far -- 'bigger SC and wing'.

"It’s still unclear what transmission Chevy will pair with the new powerplant, videos of prototypes testing in Germany seem to indicate engineers are testing with GM’s new 10-speed automatic and a rev-matching 6-speed manual."

Me thinks they have the wrong manual and automatic transmissions.

More important is that it beats the viper acr. If it doesn't it's a bust.
