I could be wrong, but it seems to me these mules most likely are the Base Model and most likely have A10s.
Since it is a transmission that is already on the shelf, it makes since the base car would have it for cost reasons alone.
A DCT might be for upper-end models.
Just a thought...

I'll be surprised if we see either of those in this rig. They'd have to re-engineer a new configuration of them to work the current versions on the shelf won't work. And the CAD drawing sure seems to indicate DCT. Maybe they'd do both, but my guess is they'll just do the DCT.
GM has always went with practicality and cost considerations regarding their high-performance vehicles.

I am fairly convinced that's the 10-speed auto.
In the very first clip, when it start's from a stop, there is NO clutch or mechanical noise, just smooth engine loading. I believe that's characteristic of a torque converter. Pretty sure there would be some clunking or some noise associated with a DCT starting from a stop.
Also, the frequency of shifts indicates it likely has 8+ gears, which the DCT wouldn't.

You could definitely take 99% of the Zerv stuff too the bank.
I don’t know if he means DCT transmission,only made by Tremec.
Or,is the DCT the only transmission available for the model.
Hard to imagine no manual,but not a dealbreaker for me.
I wonder about the “market analysis “ leak,about the
Y1 and Y2 models.
My feeling is both are mid engin platforms,with one being the hard top convertible.
The fact that both Y1 and Y2 offer different engines,
tells me that one of the engines must not fit in the convertible.
Maybe the market analysis leak was just an early was an early assumption and there’s no truth to it altogether .
I do believe all the Zerv stuff ,
the CAD’s are there .

I think he meant “DCT Only, made by TREMEC.”
From what I understand, the market analysis was just some educated predictions.

To me it sounds like a V6 with a 7sp or up DCT.
But i'm not an audiophile on car exhaust notes.

) can bitch about the exhaust note..."doesn't sound like my (fill in ANY old Corvette)"
Yep... the car sounds great. Not all that different from a GS really but it's so hard to really tell in a video. Clearly an auto and likely a DCT.You just proved his point...

To me it sounds too revved up for the level of acceleration.
Maybe with all the new found traction they finally geared it correctly?

Since we are talking about zerv leaks, let’s not forget the last thing he said in his last post:
“Current ZL-1 10 speed is potentially being evaluated for trans-axle re-config”

Dang they just keep pouring in with these spy shots now. With that said, its sounds like a inline twin turbo V-12...

Little bit off topic but after watching the video I wonder how they legally get away with driving on public roads with the tail lights covered. I could barely see the brake lights and the turn signals were hard to see from right behind the car.

Sounds like a V6 with hydro trans.
