I would think the fuel cut needed to help rev match the shift on a larger high torque v8 with a heavier rotating mass would be longer than a light weight v6. The shift speeds would likely reflect this.

I am not a DCT expert though.
Fuel Cut? - Other way around actually lol - it blips the throttle for you.
Yes, absolutly, they totally crushed it. The number of Mustangs stacked up at dealership service departments with transmission issues will easily outpace the number on Camaros.

They've totally crushed the Camaro ? Look up some of the numbers that the ZL1 1LE is putting down and then reconsider your comment. a GT350R Can't touch the Camaro, this will get closer, but that's it. GM nailed it with the Alpha platform on the Camaro and ATS, it is by far superior to anything from Ford.

On an upshift you do not blip the throttle. The car will cut fuel to rev match. It’s why DCT cars burp and fart or whatever the fan boys who get a tingle up their legs want to call the sound. It is not only needed to protect the delicate DCT, but is needed for a smooth shift.
The tranny didn’t surprise me but the fact that Ford is using the same Eaton supercharger in the new GT500 sure as hell did. I believe it’s the same kind in the Z06.
