The new trans in C7
Met a guy in Germany, his friend works with ZF. He is 100% that ZF is going into C7, it will be a 7 speed, and i looked up their products. They do have a 7 speed, its used in Panamera and 911 Turbo, so it can handle torque
Anyone know the weight on T6060 and rear end ?
This unit is supposedly 110 kg, aprox 240 pounds
Could it be? we finally get a tranny where i can flick the padle midturn and nothing but pure accelaration happens

I hope your friend is correct. That would be awesome. Based on the video, the ZF DCT is good for just over 500 ft-lbs of torque (after doing the conversion from N-m to ft-lbs).

The more I start to read about the C7, the more I want it come out of the darkness and be listed for sale. That and be able to come up with the $. Being I want to pay with cash VS 36-60 month loan. ( I am big on paying right then and there vs a "I will pay it off later" type thinking.)

That's what I'm thinking as well...the info might be somewhat legit/accurate but it might refer to the wrong transmission type.
A 7 speed manual was 'almost' confirmed quite some time ago, it's the automatic that was still up in the air.
Agreed.
