Default ZR1 DCT in a Stingray?

Hey,

Posted this question in the new trans controller post but no response. Anyone know if this will be possible now? Be really nice to have the upgraded trans. I plan to do a SC 427 in near future so would love to just pull everything once and be done. I know the ZR1 trans is build stronger so be able to actually use more low end torque without worrying about grenading a transmission.

I’ve year to hear of a hard part failure in the normal DCT and there are many of them making 4 digit power and getting the **** beat out of them. While I agree it would be a nice upgrade, I question its necessity.
