It will definitely be available in the Gen 3 CTS-V which will very likely have a version of the LT4. So, it is HIGHLY likely this will be a transmission option in the LT4 Z06.
One of the reasons, the C6 Z06 didn't come with an automatic is GM never validated an automatic transmission to the LS7. The 6L90 could have easily handled the torque, but the LS7 spun almost 1,000rpm higher than the LSA. So, not sure if that was the main issue. Probably that and the relatively low demand for an auto C6 ZO6.

That's why I'm waiting for the '15 I had an idea when I heard about the new trans that it might end up in the Vette. Can't wait.

If the sc is centrifugal would it would have to be mounted horizontally to fit? Not enough space is there?
