The predator engine is stout. Do research on the trans. I’m not saying it’s bad but with this being Ford’s first attempt at a DCT you should double check people aren’t having issues.

The chassis is inferior but if you’re just driving in a straight line that doesn’t really matter.
Currently owning a C8 Stingray that has had a main valve body replacement at 13,000 miles, I would stay away from any car that has a transmission with words Tremec and DCT in the description.
